***Updated 06/06/2023***
I had to recreate this post, thanks to WordPress. I had been updating the original post each time I did a new Bellicon Home workout then WordPress changed the interface bloggers use to create and update posts. That new interface hated the original post. Now when I try to update it, it deletes workouts! I have continued to do new-to-me Bellicon Home workouts but I could not add them to the other post. Let’s hope recreating this post in the new editor fixes the problem.
Bellicon is a German company that makes rebounders or mini trampolines. And just like the Mercedes and Porsche, the Germans have brought their superior engineering to rebounding. You do not create the Mercedes/Porsche of rebounders and not charge Mercedes/Porsche prices for them. In other words, Bellicons are expensive compared to other rebounders. But since you are investing in a piece of exercise equipment, Bellicon also wants to provide its owners with ways to use their rebounder. Enter Bellicon’s streaming site. I have no idea how many rebounder workouts are on the Bellicon Home site–way too many to count. Currently, their site shows 36 different trainers. The Bellicon is popular in Germany so Bellicon Home has workouts in both English and German. With that said, you do not have to own a Bellicon to use the Bellicon Home streaming site. As long as you own a rebounder, you can do these workouts. And if you do own a rebounder then this streaming site is a gold mine. Good rebounder workouts are hard to find and there are hundreds (thousands maybe?) of excellent rebounder workouts on this site. The cost: $9.90 a month or $89 a year. You can also try it out for 7 days free. And if you buy a Bellicon, you get a 30 day free trial.
The workouts range in length from less than 10 minutes to an hour; however, they average in the 20-40 minute range. Every workout has a countdown timer in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Each workout is given a level from 1 to 10 with 1 being the easiest and 10 being the hardest. They tell you how many “bounces” are in each workout and approximately how many calories you can expect to burn. They also put workouts together into programs so you can follow a rotation calendar if you prefer. You can “like” workouts so that you can find your favorites quickly when you want to return to a workout. As a subscriber, the Bellicon site will keep track of your bounces and calories burned using the estimated bounces and calories from the workouts you complete. Finally, there is a community message board where you can ask questions that are answered by other Bellicon exercisers and trainers.
Why rebound? Other than it being the most enjoyable exercise I have ever done, there are loads of health benefits to rebounding. Bellicon’s website will tell you the many, many health benefits of rebounding. They have put a lot of work into creating a comprehensive website filled with lots of information. Here are the fitness benefits. Here are the health benefits. And here is all of the research.
I am a Bellicon owner and subscriber. In fact, I have paid for a year in advance. I need to keep track of the workouts I’ve done and my thoughts on them. But there are too many–I cannot break these workouts down like I do my other workout reviews. So I will merely summarize the workouts after I complete them and my thoughts on them. I will also categorize them by trainer. This post is a work in progress so if you are a subscriber to Bellicon Home’s streaming site, bookmark this review. I will continue to update it every time I do a new Bellicon workout.
Finally, a note about the Bellicon rebounder and rebounders in general. When you purchase a Bellicon you have to choose the strength of your bungee cords. Bellicon has a chart where you can chose your bungees based on your weight and the type of bounce you want. If you have no clue, they recommend getting strong bungees. So that is what I got. It is considered the “optimal strength” for my weight. When you do a Bellicon workout, the trainer frequently tells you the strength of their bungees. This is important because the strength of the bungees determines how fast you can bounce. So if I am doing a workout with a trainer who is using extra strong or ultra bungees then there is no way I can keep up their pace when doing fast paced jumps. The stronger the bungee the faster you can bounce. This is the same with any rebounder. When I am doing workouts by other trainers who are using another brand of rebounder, whether spring bound or bungee bound, unless we weigh the same and have the exact same rebounder, it is can be difficult to keep perfect pace with them because every rebounder is different. So go easy on yourself! I say this because in the early days when I used a spring bound rebounder and knew nothing about rebounding, I became very frustrated when I could not keep up with a trainer. It wasn’t my fault! It’s just the nature of rebounding. For Christmas 2020, my husband bought me an entire set of extra strong bungees for my Bellicon and one of my daughters bought me an entire set of ultra strong bungees. I want to jump faster! I w as very excited to return to many of the rebounding workouts I struggled (and failed) to keep up with the trainer. For the vast majority of the workouts, the bungee strength made all of the difference. I ended up combining the ultra and the extras on my rebounder and now I have zero problem keeping pace with most trainers.
Below are the Bellicon trainers and the workouts I have done. I am listing them alphabetically by trainer. Under each trainer I list all of their workouts I have done from shortest to longest and I also highlight whether it is cardio, cardio + strength, strength or flexibility. In addition to a summary of each workout I also tell you if any additional equipment is needed and if the workout contains a warm up and a stretch. The majority of the workouts do not require anything other than your rebounder but some also use light hand weights and/or resistance bands. ***12/25/22 update: Bellicon came out with a new piece of equipment: a shadowboxer. It is quite expensive ($89.99 currently) but I wanted it! So my husband got it for me for Christmas. The workouts using the shadowboxer are done by Julia VK. So scroll down to her workouts to see my reviews of the shadowboxer workouts. I have also created a Shadowboxer post that contains nothing but reviews of Shadowboxer workouts.***
Antonia W. Antonia has no bio on Bellicon, just this picture and the list of the Bellicon workouts she leads. English is her second language but she is easy to understand. She is also an excellent trainer who puts together intense workouts.
Aerobic Flow is 34 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This is one of Antonia’s easier workouts. It is a fun steady state cardio. It has a long warm up and stretch. This workout is similar to her Aerobic Moves workout (below). There are 8 moves and she teaches them to you in blocks of 4. The first 4 moves are side steps, heel dig hops, double stomps, alternating front toe tap hops. The second 4 moves are jumping jacks, scissor runs, basic bounce with goalpost chest fly arms and ponies. She adds arm movements to all of them to increase the intensity. She teaches everything in layers; she teaches the first move, then the second move, then you repeat moves 1 & 2 then learn the 3rd move, repeat 1-3 then learn the 4th move. Run through 1-4 again then move onto block 2. She teaches the second block the same way. Then you finish by combining the 2 blocks and running through all 8 exercises, back to back two times. It is a fun workout. Nothing terribly complicated but a solid cardio workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 244 calories. I burned 222 calories.
Jump Fit is 38 minutes; 2 minute intro. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. I really liked this workout. It is made up of basic jump training and it gets intense, but the intensity builds. It was a lot of fun. Antonia warms you up nicely and cools you down thoroughly. The music is great, too. You have 2 warm up songs. The first is non-jumping warm up moves and the second is a jumping warm up. The same goes for the cool down. The first song is a jumping cool down and the second is a stretching song. In between, the rest of the workout is interval work. Antonia doesn’t reveal the length of the intervals or recoveries. Instead, she sets it all to the music, so it feels really organic and natural. Bellicon estimates you will burn 342 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 258 calories.
Jump HIIT is 38 minutes. It is a level 9 workout Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. At the very beginning of the workout, at the end of the musical intro, a longer title appears: Jump HIIT for Endurance. That is a very appropriate title! This was an intense cardio workout! HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This workout is made up of HIITs that increase in length. You have 6 HIIT blocks. The first 2 blocks are done for 30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. The second 2 blocks are done for 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. The last 2 blocks are done for 60 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of recovery. But the longer intervals at the end aren’t the only reason this is an endurance workout. The recoveries are active recoveries, meaning Antonia also gives you a lower intensity move to do during the recovery. At least at first. As the workout progresses, the recovery moves become a bit more intense until the final HIIT block where you are working hard pretty much non-stop, during the 60 second HIIT and during the 30 second recovery. For the first 4 blocks each HIIT is done 4 times. Meaning, you do the first HIIT 4 times before moving onto the second HIIT. That last two 60/30 HIIT blocks are only done 3 times each. None of the exercises are difficult to perform but they can get intense. Everything is done on the rebounder so no shoes are necessary. Bellicon estimates you will burn 501 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 333 calories.
Smooth Intervals is 39 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Cardio & strength. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is a deceptive workout. You assume by it being only a level 4 workout that it will be easier than it is, but it creeps up on you. This workout has 3 circuits and each circuit is approximately 6 minutes long. Each circuit alternates cardio with strength. You do 60 seconds of a fairly low intensity cardio move and 30 seconds of a body weight strength exercise. The body weight strength interval can start to burn a little but never anything that made me want to stop. The cardio intervals have very low intensity and easy bounce moves but then sometimes Antonia adds some kind of upper body mobility move and coordination becomes an issue. In addition, you are doing a lot of upper body work–both mobility and endurance strength. Again, it never got to the point where anything was burning but it was more work than I anticipated. The first circuit the cardio is shift hopping side to side and the strength is hinging forward, lifting straight arms up past ears then behind you up past your back. For the second circuit the cardio is tapping one foot in and out to side (she gives the option of doing knee lifts instead of taps) and the strength is extending arms straight in front of you with palms facing each other and fluttering them fast. For the final circuit the cardio his heel dig variations and the strength is standing side crunches (legs wide, hands behind head, raise one knee to side and bring same side elbow toward knee, when you lower leg tilt upper body to opposite side). You will repeat each pairing 4 times within a circuit and each time you repeat it she sometimes adds things to make the exercise (either cardio or strength and sometimes both) more challenging. Even during the warm up and the cool down/stretch there is a lot of focus on upper body. Bellicon estimates you will burn 144 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 252 calories.
Aerobic Moves is 43 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. Another intense workout from Antonia! This one is made up of 16 aerobic/cardio moves on the Bellicon. I cannot remember them all, but she builds the long combo in groups of 4. And she also builds each group of 4. By the end of the workout you run through all 16 moves several times. Some of the moves are more intense than others but she gives you very little rest time, so you are working hard. All of the moves incorporate both upper and lower body. Here are some that I remember: jumping jacks, high knee runs with goal post chest press arms, scissor runs while pushing arms overhead, heel dig hops while pushing arms in front of you, alternating front kicks with alternating overhead punches–lots more. It was a great workout. Antonia warms you up and then you have a cool down and a long thorough stretch. Bellicon says you will burn 1 calorie. That is not a typo–at least not on my part. It obviously is on their part! I hope you burn at least 1 calorie! I burned 297 calories.
Jump Fun is 46 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout is actually only about 43:30 minutes. The first 2+ minutes is Antonia giving instructions on how to adjust your T bar and also giving lots of detailed form pointers. If you’re like me, you will use that time to start warming up by bouncing. This workout contains a long warm up plus a cool down and a stretch. The title for this workout is appropriate. This is a very fun cardio workout. It is more of a steady state cardio workout but it does get intense at times. Her choreography is not complicated but it is built around each song, so the intensity rises and falls with the music. So in a sense, you do get some intense intervals or cardio blasts. If you have a T bar you will use it for some of the most intense bouncing moves. Antonia also has several balance moves interspersed throughout this workout. I really enjoyed this workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 396 calories. I burned 331 calories.
Arnita C Is an incredible trainer. She is in her 50s and ripped. She has a beautiful muscular physique. She is gorgeous, too. She is a former world class hurdler, has a bachelors in psychology and a masters in education/counseling. She is also a personal trainer. She has workouts on YouTube, too. I’ve saved them but haven’t actually done them yet. What I have noticed about Arnita’s Bellicon workouts is that they are intense, effective and rarely have warm ups or stretches.
10 Min Mobility Work is 10 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Flexibility. This is an excellent total body stretch to add onto the end of any of workout that you may be doing. You do not need a rebounder for this workout, just a fitness mat. Arnita takes you through some deep and feel good stretches. This felt excellent–I will definitely be returning to this stretch. It starts with a lunge flow series, then you do a spinal twist, then pigeon pose and she ends with happy baby. But in the process of getting you into each of these positions, you will also do and hold other stretches. An excellent routine to do frequently. However, I am not sure what makes this a level 5. But maybe some people have problems with pigeon pose or holding a deep lunge. Bellicon estimates you burn 46 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 38 calories.
Lower Body Exercise is 12 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Strength. This short workout even has a warm up and a stretch. And for such a short workout Arnita works your lower body well. Since it is a basically a bodyweight workout you are doing a lot of reps. You do 3 different squat variations and you do a lot of them. This is a nice little add on/finisher workout. Especially since she cools you down and stretches you out afterward. Bellicon estimates you will burn 89 calories. I did this workout + another 11 minute workout. Between the two workouts I burned a total of 140 calories.
Post Workout Stretch is 16 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. I really like Arnita and I wanted to like this workout more. I was hoping for a long deep stretch. And Arnita does stretch you out but she talks a lot between most of the stretches. In fact, the first 2:30 or so minutes of this is Arnita talking–no stretching at all. She is on topic and giving information, so it isn’t random stuff, but I still wanted a solid 16 minutes of stretching. Bellicon estimates you will burn 63 calories. I burned 26 calories.
Legs to Live For is 21 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Strength + cardio (but mostly strength). This workout has a short warm up but no stretch–and trust me, you need one after this workout! It is definitely an advanced lower body workout that really burned my muscles out. I will note that I used this as a finisher to a longer heavy weight metabolic lower body workout. So I was already warmed up and my lower body was already well worked. This definitely finished me off. After the short warm up, Arnita has you do a circuit of exercises. You do each exercise for one minute then you repeat the entire circuit. The exercises are 1. high knee runs, 2. uneven squats (one foot on rebounder, one on floor, squat then hop over rebounder to other side to squat with foot positions swapped), 3. around the world squats (hover squat isometrically over the edge of the rebounder (feet on floor) and squat walk around the rebounder–one minute in each direction!), 4. bridge pulses (lay on back on rebounder, feet on frame, do single leg bridge pulses (one minute each leg) and end with one minute of double leg bridge pulses). Arnita was full of energy and enthusiasm in this workout. And looking super gorgeous with her Princess Lia cinnamon buns! That woman is ripped! Bellicon estimates you will burn 315 calories. I burned 141 calories.
20 Min Cardio Intense is 22 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. First let me say that I did enjoy this workout. I got some good cardio. However it was not a level 10 workout.I have done much more intense workouts by Arnita–Bounce Those Pounds Away (below) was a level 8 and much more intense than this workout. That’s not a problem, but something to be aware of if you are looking for something super intense. You will not get it in this workout. It does have tuck jumps in it so maybe that is why they rated it as a 10? But even the tuck jumps are performed in a much easier way than how other trainers (both bellicon and non-bellicon) have you do them. There are a lot of different exercises in this workout so I am not going to do any kind of breakdown. However, everything is done on the Bellicon, so you can wear your socks or be barefoot. The first time the exercises are introduced, Arnita demonstrates. But when you return to them, there is no real cueing. She tells you to do the move as she is doing it. Plus, she never indicates which side of the body to start a move on. Bottom line: this is good, fun workout, moderately intense, bad cuing. But Arnita’s personality and enthusiasm is infectious and makes you forgive all of these shortcomings. Belliocn estimates you will burn 321 calories. According to my Apple Watch, I burned 141 calories.
20 Min Cardio Burn is 22 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. Once again–not a level 10 workout, regardless of how Bellicon marks it. It just isn’t intense or advanced. It is a fun workout though. The main focus of this workout is jack variations. You will do 5 or 6 different jack variations. For these jack variations, the legs are always jacking, it is the upper body that is doing something different. Each time you do a jack variation, you do it for 4 sets of 8 reps, or 32 reps. It is followed by another cardio move which you also do for 32 reps. So you are sort of supersettting a jack move with another cardio move. Then you get a rest period. At the end, you run through all of the jack variations, one right after the other, each for 8 reps. All of the moves are cardio except for one. It is superset with the only move that is not done completely on the rebounder: low impact plank jacks. Your hands will be on the rebounder frame and your feet on the floor. Rather than jump jacking the feet/legs you will step the feet out and in. The move it is paired with is hip rockers. Again, you are in plank with your hands on the rebounder mat and feet on the floor, you rock your hips side to side. Everything else is a bouncing move on the rebounder. I felt like I got plenty of recovery time between moves–almost too much. But it was enjoyable and fun. Bellicon estimates you will burn 321 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 150 calories.
Bounce Those Pounds Away is 30 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout is a super intense cardio workout! I’ve done this workout twice now and it has kicked my butt both times. Arnita is a machine! She claims there is a warm up and cool down but you are bouncing at the same intensity from beginning to end. In this workout Arnita uses the the Bellicon ball weights. It appears she is using the 1 pound balls. These are weighted balls with straps. So the ball is in your palm and the strap goes around the back of your hand to hold it in place. The Firm created similar weighted balls that I purchased a decade or more ago. Mine are 2 pounds each. I used them in this workout and I am sure they did a good job jacking up the intensity of this workout. Arnita bounces so fast, I could not keep up with her. I did my best and worked very hard. Bellicon estimates you will burn 270 calories. My FitBit says I burned 253 calories. Pretty good for a 30 minute workout.
30 Min HIIT Sweat is 33 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Strength. This workout has a warm up and a cool down. The structure of this workout is 2 circuits. Each circuit contains 4 exercises. You do circuit one 4 times before you move on to circuit 2, which you also do 4 times. All of the exercises are done interval style: 30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. This workout is done both on and off the rebounder so you do need shoes. There is not much jumping. I personally do not think this is a level 10 workout, but there is one move that is advanced (first exercise in circuit 1). I liked but didn’t love this workout. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training but my heart rate never spiked into my peak heart rate zone, so IMHO it is not truly a HIIT workout. It is just an interval workout. Circuit One: 1. stand on floor facing the rebounder, jump on top of rebounder (like a box jump), land in squat and pulse down 2x, then step backward off of rebounder, 2. 8 mountain climbers + 1 push up (hands on rebounder frame, feet on floor), 3. stand with rebounder directly behind you, lower into a squat until bottom taps rebounder, stand and shuffle-hop one step to side and repeat the squat–you will do this 4x, going halfway around rebounder before reversing direction, 4. Arnita calls this a Falling Push Up: stand facing rebounder with legs wide, lower into squat (you will hold this squat the entire interval), fall forward until hands hit rebounder mat, lower into a push up then push back up into squat. Circuit Two: 1. pendulum lunge (on floor, forward lunge directly into reverse lunge with the same leg, 2. repeat #1 on other leg, 3. Arnita calls these Runner Legs but they are just bicycle legs–lay on the rebounder and hold the rebounder frame behind head, bicycle the legs, 4. Arnita calls these Rolly Pollies: stand with rebounder behind you, sit back onto rebounder, hands are in guard with elbows touching the knees, keep elbows in contact with knees while rolling backward, roll back to sitting then stand and jump (jump is on the floor)–when you stand and jump your elbows do not have to touch your knees. Bellicon estimates you will burn 481 calories (!!!). I burned 212 calories.
Cardio Complete is 36 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. The structure of this workout is 3 blocks or circuits. Each circuit contains 3 moves. Arnita spends time teaching you each move. Then you run through each block once. When you run through the block you will do each move for 4 sets of 8 reps (or 32 reps). Then you move onto the next block. After she teaches you all of the blocks you will run through all 3 blocks several times. This workout was a bit more intense than some of her other new workouts (new in 2022) but it still was not a level 10 workout. You get plenty of rest periods in the course of this workout. At the end, when there is about 6 minutes left, she apparently lost track of time. She said that we are going to run through all 3 blocks, 4 more times with no rests between blocks but then the music slowed down, apparently indicating cool down time (and we went right into the cool down). She tried to play it off like she knew what was going on, but I think she really lost track of time. I was a little disappointed because I did want to run through them all 4 more times–and with the intensity kicked up from no rests between blocks. None of the moves are difficult or complicated though the 3rd move in the 3rd block does require some balance (lateral skaters). Everything is done on the rebounder until the stretch at the end. But if you have a T bar (like I do) that you can hold onto for balance then you can do the stretch on the rebounder. Bellicon estimates you will burn 665 calories. I wish! According to my Apple Watch I burned 246 calories.
Ready to Sweat is 36 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. The stretch is pretty short. This workout is made up of 4 blocks or circuits. Each circuit contains 4 exercises. Arnita says that you will do each exercise for 4 sets of 8 reps (or 32 reps) but it does not always workout that way. Sometimes you do more than 32 reps and sometimes less. After you learn and do all 4 circuits, your run through them 2 more times. The 2nd and 3rd time through you do most of the exercises for less reps. This workout did get intense but not super intense. I wouldn’t call it a level 10 workout. Maybe level 8 or 9. It was a solid cardio workout. It had a lot of basic cardio bounce moves and some more complex ones, but no complex choreography. It had some squat jacks, which I really like. It was a lot of fun. Bellicon estimates you will burn 665 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 303 calories.
Cardio Combo is 46 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. This is a live workout that was posted on Bellicon Home Streaming for us. It isn’t any different than the workouts filmed specifically for streaming (rather than the fact it was filmed live) except that you do not get your count down timer in the lower right hand side of the screen. This was an intense cardio workout. It is done interval-style. Each exercise done for 45 seconds followed by 30 seconds of recovery. It is done in blocks, too. Each block contains 4 exercises done to 45/30 interval then you move onto the next block. There is a lot of repetition in this workout and it will wear out whatever muscle is being targeted. This isn’t a strength workout but your muscles are working to do those cardio moves. The first block is 4 side kicks + 8 scissor runs. You work the same leg the entire block–so four 45/30 intervals. Then for the next block you repeat on the other leg. For the 3rd block you will alternate 8 alternating front kicks with 8 alternating wide V kicks for the first two 45/30 intervals then it changes slightly to 4 alternating front kicks + 4 alternating side kicks. The 4th block is 4 jumping jacks plus narrow bounces to 8 counts. The 5th block is double hopping hip twists to one side. For the 6th block, repeat the double hopping hip twists to the other side. The final block is plank based with your hands on the rebounder and feet on the floor, bring one knee up to same side tricep and pulse it up the entire 45 seconds. For the next 45/30 interval you repeat on the same leg and for the last two 45/30 intervals repeat on the other leg. This is an intense workout. I will say it is most intense at the beginning with all of the kicks and then the plank move at the end is also pretty exhausting. She gives you a nice stretch at the end. I really enjoyed this workout and got a great cardio workout but I cannot see returning to it frequently because of the repetition. However, I will return to it because it is a great cardio workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch, I burned 374 calories.
Barbara K. Barbara is German Bellicon trainer. She is the author of fitness and nutrition books and the creator of a piece of fitness equipment called the Flexibar. She has been a sports physiotherapist for 35 years and says she is a “Bellicon Maniac.”
Knee & Foot is 21 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Mobility & functional strength. You need a pilates or a playground ball for this workout. This was another challenging functional workout from Barbara. Let me preface this by saying I have foot issues. I was hit head on by a drunk driver in 2009 and my feet were destroyed (the doctors considered amputation). I was fortunate that a skilled surgeon saved my feet but I have 12 screws and 2 plates in each heel and I definitely have residual problems. But as you can see from this blog, I work through those problems and continue to be active. What I do not do (but should) is do focused therapy on my feet. So when I see workouts like this, i jump at the chance to try them. I found many of the foot exercises challenging and some impossible. I suppose if I work at them more, I might be able to do that, but I am not sure if the damage to my feet is too extensive to ever be able to. But I really should try more often! Anyway, back to the review. Barbara does this workout barefoot. She has been wearing Bellicon socks for most of these mobility/functional strength workouts but not for this one. She does have her bellicon socks though and you will use them. The workout starts with some low key bouncing to warm your feet up. Then you thread/weave the bellicon socks between your toes (you can obviously use regular socks if you do not have Bellicon socks). Once this is done, you will lower into a squat with heels raised and hands on mat, raise hips then lower them. Next you will do some hopping variations. Remove the socks for some foot exercises. First you will raise and lower your big toe while keeping the rest of your toes pressed into the mat (impossible for me to do with my left foot though I could with my right), then you open your big toe out wide to side (impossible for me with both feet). Get your socks again and drop one on the mat. Grab it with your toes, then raise and lower your leg with your knee bent at 90 degrees while gripping the sock with your toes. This was impossible for me. I spent the entire time the exercise was being done struggling to pick up my sock with my toes and never once succeeding. Again, my right foot had better mobility than my left but still was not successful. Then you will do some more bouncing exercises that work your feet and also include some ankle and foot mobility. Next you will start working the knees. Step off the rebounder. You will do some exercises with one foot on the ground, your hands on the rebounder frame, and the pilates ball is behind the knee of your other leg. Raised the leg and squeeze and release the ball behind the knee. Next you will repeat this same basic exercise but you will do it laying on your back on the rebounder with one foot on the frame and the leg with the ball behind the knee raised. You lift your hips and keep them raised isometrically throughout while squeezing and releasing the ball. Remove the ball while keeping your hips raised, one leg is still raised, bend knee then extend leg straight to ceiling. Still laying on back, extend legs straight to ceiling and place ball between knees, pulse-squeeze ball between knees while keeping legs straight. While in this same position, draw circles with legs. Still in this same position, bend then straighten knees. Remove ball, legs are still extended to ceiling, scissor the legs. Next is some combination flexibility and mobility. Stand on the floor with one foot on the rebounder, raise the heel of the foot on the rebounder and keep it raised. The back leg is straight and you are leaning forward into the front leg. Next you will start flowing in and out of this position, lowering the heel then raising the heel again while shifting forward. Then you will keep the heel lifted while shifted forward and pulse deeper into the stretch. The workout ends with some stretches for the toes and the legs. One thing that stood out about this workout, especially with the stretches at the end, is one side of the body gets worked (or stretched) more than the other side of the body. Though this is a very good workout and very beneficial, I would not call it feel good! I paired this with Barbara’s Hip (below) and by the end of both of them my quads and inner thighs were very fatigued! Bellicon estimates you will burn 84 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 90 calories.
Spine is 22 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Mobility & functional strength. I did not know what to expect going into this workout and it surprised me. It is all done on the rebounder. Barbara takes you through an excellent workout to strengthen your spine. As you can see by the level of this workout it is not advanced. She warms you up then takes you through spinal mobility moves, some strengthening moves for your spine and your core, and some flexibility. You will even do a little bit of jumping but nothing that will make you break a sweat. Barbra made me smile at the end–she actually apologizes for her accent! Though she does have an accent, I had no problems understanding her! Very nice, feel good workout. I used it on my recovery day after completing an easy, low intensity cardio rebounder workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 84 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 102 calories.
Hip is 22 minutes. It is a level 3 workout.Mobility & functional strength. This workout was more challenging than I expected it to be, especially after doing Spine (above), which was more of a feel good workout. For this workout you need a pilates or playground ball. The workout starts with a low key bouncing warm up–nothing to make you sweat. She includes some mobility work for the hips in the bouncing. Then you will some mobility/strength exercises where your feet are on the floor and your hands are on the rebounder–it is similar to mat based work so you are not in a plank. The you will flow in and out of Warrior 2 pose with the front foot on the rebounder and the back foot on the floor. Then you lay on your side on the rebounder with the pilates ball behind the top knee and do clamshells. Then you do side lying leg lifts with your foot in different positions to target different parts of your leg/hip/glutes. Next you do this challenging move (for me at least) where you sit on the edge of the rebounder with the ball between your knees, raise your feet of the ground, while squeezing the ball, open feet out to side. Next you will lay on your back on the rebounder with one heel on the frame, the other leg is raised with the ball held behind your knee, you raise hips into bridge and hold isometrically while raising and lowering the leg with the ball then opening it out to the side. Set the ball aside and draw circles with the leg extended straight to the ceiling. Your hips are raised the entire time! While still on back, raise both legs with the knees bent at 90 degrees and the ball squeezed between your knees, open feet out to sides. Finally you get to some feel good flexibility/mobility. You lay on your back with the ball under the small of your back and pull one knee into your chest. Set the ball aside and do some figure 4 variations and some pretzel stretch variations. No exercise is static. If I do not mention it when describing an exercise above, just know that you are flowing in and out of a move–even the figure 4 is in motion, which is why I called it a “variation.” Though this is a very good workout and very beneficial, I would not call it feel good! I paired this with Barbara’s Knee & Foot (above) and by the end of both of them my quads and inner thighs were very fatigued! Bellicon estimates you will burn 84 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 92 calories.
Shoulder is 22 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Mobility & functional strength. This workout was a bit challenging, but after doing Barbara’s other workouts in this series (Hip, Spine, Knee & Foot–above), I was expecting it. You need a pilates or playground ball for this workout. You can also use a pillow. This workout starts with some bouncing to warm you up. Between gentle bouncing segments, she has you stand still on the rebounder while doing mobility work to warm up your shoulder. Some of the moves use the ball and some don’t but even when you aren’t technically using the ball, you are pressing it into your thigh with the non-moving hand. Next you start doing some mobility exercises using the ball to strengthen your shoulders. You will also do some mobility moves with the arms/shoulders while squeezing the ball between your thighs. You will be doing a light health bounce when doing these exercises (pushing/bouncing down into the mat but feet do not leave that mat). Next you will do some stretching and strengthening exercises on the floor but using the rebounder and the pilates ball. For the stretching, you are on your knees facing the rebounder, place the ball on the rebounder mat and your hand on top of the ball, roll the ball forward and back while leaning forward and pressing down into the ball. Then you set the ball aside and do some plank based moves with feet on ground and hands on mat. For this reason you might need a mat for your knees and feet. Then you will lay on your rebounder for more range of motion exercises. You will do a modified side elbow plank on the rebounder. Then you will do a dynamic bear pose variation. Some more range of motion exercises on hands and knees then you are back in plank for more exercises. The workout ends with a short stretch. Barbara’s physiotherapist background really shines in this workout. I have chronic shoulder problems and though I do a lot of traditional strength exercises for my shoulders, I do not incorporate enough of these types of workouts. I will definitely try to make a point to return to this workout. I paired it with two other Belliicon workouts that focus on the shoulders: Posture Reset with Faythe and Shoulder with Christian using the TMX. Both are reviewed below under the trainer’s names. Between the 3 workouts my shoulders got some intense functional strength and mobility work. Bellicon estimates you will burn 84 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 98 calories.
Cardio Shape is 29 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. This is a fun steady state cardio bounce workout. This was my first video with Barbara and I really liked her. She really seems to love teaching Bellicon workouts. This workout has a short warm up and a short cool down. Barbara puts together a cardio bounce combo. She builds the combo in layers and you repeat the combo several times, each time she adds another bounce move. None of the moves were complicated but it was a fun and unique workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 186 calories. I burned 187 calories.
Bikini Shaping is 31 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout was very tough! Barbara is serious about title. This is primarily a strength workout with the focus on your lower body and your abs–the parts of your body a bikini highlights. There is some cardio but it is either recovery cardio between the strength exercises or a burnout interval to finish off your lower body after working it. Each strength exercise is done for one minute and every single time each minute felt like an eternity. Glute and ab burn out. An excellent but torturous workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 222 calories. I burned 137 calories.
Benjamin A Ben is a teacher and a Bellicon instructor. English is his second language but he was easy to understand.
HIIT Power is 36 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + Strength. This is a solid workout. Ben calls it a tabata workout but it is not. It is a HIIT workout. It is made up of 4 circuits. Each circuit has 6 exercises and each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of recovery. Between each circuit you get 50 seconds of recovery before starting the next circuit. The first 3 circuits have 3 exercises that you repeat. The first circuit is jumping jacks, deep squat hold, scissor runs. The second circuit is mountain climbers and two core exercises on the rebounder. The 3rd circuit is tricep dips, straight arm to forearm plank and side plank holds. The 4th circuit is sprints. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. I really enjoyed the cool down bounce. Bellicon estimates you will burn 486 calories. I burned 231 calories.
Tabata Fit is 38 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. The first few minutes are actually Ben instructing you on how to adjust your T-bar. The actual workout is about 35 minutes. It includes a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is a cardio + body weight strength workout. The tabata circuits are the strength portion. They are done traditional tabata format: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. There are 3 tabata circuits–one lower body, one upper body and one core. Between each tabata circuit you get several minutes of cardio bouncing. I wanted to like this workout more than I did. I did get a solid workout I just didn’t enjoy it that much. It estimates you will burn 281 calories. I burned 230 calories.
Cardio Interval Work is 38 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. The first few minutes is Ben talking about form and the structure of the workout. The actual workout is around 35 minutes. Ben also tells you his bungee strength which was stronger than mine. What this means is, it is simply not possible for me to keep time with him. However, I know I am getting stronger bungees for Christmas so I plan to return to this and other such workouts after Christmas to see if I can keep time with the trainers when I have stronger bungees. This workout includes a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. The music in this is great! The first 12 minutes is all cardio. Then Ben moves into intervals. The intervals are structured as 30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. He has specific interval and recovery moves, though your recovery moves are obviously easier than your intervals. You do a 4 groups of 4 of these 30/15 intervals. Each 3 minute group focuses on one type of move. The first interval grouping is pony hops, the second interval grouping is hop kicks to the front and side, the third interval grouping is scissor runs and the fourth interval grouping is jumping jacks. Then you do about 3 more minutes of non-interval cardio, then your cool down (which is still cardio but lower intensity) and stretch. It is a great and intense cardio workout. No super complicated bounce moves, but Ben varies things to keep it interesting. Even during your intervals when you are only doing one move, he varies whether you are doing singles or doubles. Bellicon estimates you will burn 306 calories. I burned 238 calories. ***Update: I finally returned to this workout with my stronger bungees–I was able to keep perfect time with Ben, which made this workout so much more enjoyable. I also burned more calories–267 this time.***
Healthy Bounce is 40 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + toning. This workout is actually 38 minutes—Ben talks for the first 2 minutes. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. This is a circuit workout. There are 3 circuits and each circuit is made up of 3 songs. The first song is a cardio song, the second is a coordination song and the third is a toning song. This is not an intense workout but is enjoyable and fun. The music is very good, too. The cardio songs are all pretty low key—not intense and no difficult moves. The coordination is different each circuit. The first time it is just a low bounce foot pattern—kind of dancy and fun. The second circuit it is balancing and the third circuit it is punching/boxing. For strength, the first circuit is squat holds, the second circuit is core work laying back on your rebounder and the third circuit is high/low planks (straight arm to elbow plank with feet on ground and hands/forearms on rebounder) and tricep dips. All of the strength songs are done interval style—30 seconds of work followed by a short recovery. Each strength song has 4 intervals. Again, this is not an intense workout, but it is fun and effective. Bellicon estimates you will burn 243 calories. I burned 242 calories.
Christian K Christian’s bio on Bellicon doesn’t really give much info. He’s German and he is a fitness trainer. I really enjoy his workouts.
Glutes is 18 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. It is hard plastic. Here is Bellicon’s explanation of what it does: “Experience targeted massage that’s deep and long-lasting with the unique TMX Trigger. With the TMX Trigger, you can release tension and pain in specific muscles and fascia without the help of a therapist. When combined with the bellicon, it’s ideally suited to help increase mobility and improve overall well-being.” So I bought one. Christian and Julia do the TMX workouts so scroll down to Julia’s workouts for more. Here is the structure of the workout. It starts on the bellicon with mobility exercises focused on the hips and glutes. Then you do some bouncing, but nothing intense, to warm you up. For most of the moves Christian tries to hit the glutes and hips from all angles. Then you step off the rebounder and sit on your fitness mat with the TMX trigger. You place it under your glutes. Christian shows you the two areas where the little knob should be pressing into. You lean back onto it. Christian says it should cause pain (level 7 on a scale of 1-10). You cross the the ankle of the TMX leg over the thigh of the other leg just below the knee (knee is bent and foot on mat). This helps you put more pressure into the TMX. You hold this position for one minute then you add movement for another minute. Christian does several things–raising and lowering his knee while in the same position that you held for a minute (ankle crossed over other knee) then he extends his leg straight and raises and lowers it. You repeat this sequence on the other side of your glutes. Then you get back on the rebounder for some more bouncing and it ends with some glute stretches. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. I burned 104 calories.
Shoulder is 18 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. See Glutes workout above for more info on the TMX Trigger. In addition, this workout is structured exactly the same as Glutes above, except that you are using the TMX on your shoulder. The workout starts with a warm up. You will do basic bounce moves (nothing intense) while also doing range of motion moves with your arms to warm up your shoulders. Then you do some more (non-bouncing) intense range of motion exercises. You will need a wall for this workout. Get off the rebounder and stick the TMX to a wall (the bottom has a “cover” that comes on and off easily so you can stick the TMX to things so it stays in place). First you stand beside the TMX and press it into your shoulder/bicep area for one minute. Then you add motion (bicep curls) for one minute. Next you move to the back of your shoulder, so you stand with the TMX behind you. You find the pressure point that hurts the most and hold it there for one minute. Again, you add motion by doing a sort of scarecrow motion with your arm. Get back on the rebounder and do some more basic bouncing moves while also doing range of motion moves with your arms. The workout ends with a shoulder stretch. This is a great workout and I loved it. I have chronic shoulder problems so this is perfect for me and the TMX workout I will use more than any of the others. I do have one criticism with this workout. Christian only focuses on one shoulder! That would be fine but Bellicon streaming will not let you rewind! I couldn’t scrub back to do the whole TMX part again on my other shoulder. You can pause it though so I paused it and did everything on my other shoulder, but still–I would rather do it with the trainer since he is timing everything. But overall, great workout. And since I do have some pretty bad shoulder problems, I felt the improvement at the end of this workout. I really didn’t feel a lot after doing the other TMX workouts but none of those areas are problem areas for me either. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 89 calories.
Popliteal Area is 18 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. See Glutes workout above for more info on the TMX Trigger. In addition, this workout is structured exactly the same as Glutes above, except that you are using the TMX on your popliteal area, which is your knee pit. The workout starts with a low intensity cardio bouncing warm up that focuses on the lower body. Then you step off the rebounder and sit on a fitness mat. You will place the TMX under your knee until when you relax your leg you feel pressure from a 6-7/10 level of discomfort. You may need to cross your other leg over your calf to increase the pressure, but you do want the leg you are triggering to be relaxed, so do not press down purposefully into the trigger. Hold this position for one minute then you add movement–flexing and pointing the toe of your trigger leg then circling the ankle. Repeat on your other leg then get back onto the rebounder for more low intensity cardio bouncing that focuses on the lower body. The workout ends with a deep stretch for the back of the legs. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. I burned 115 calories.
Recovery Moves is 22 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. This is a deep stretching routine. No bellicon used. Everything is done a fitness mat. The first 2 minutes is the intro and Christian talking. The routine begins with some flowing, dynamic stretching to warm you up but everything else is deep stretches that you will hold for a while. It did feel very good for the majority of the workout but some of the stretches become a bit uncomfortable. Which Christian apparently intends! He said that if a 9 is pain like your muscle snapping then you should be feeling a 7-8. What?!?!? It wasn’t a 7-8 of discomfort for me but some of the poses were maybe a 5-6. But I don’t mind some mild discomfort when stretching. And I got an excellent, deep stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 63 calories. I burned 80 calories.
HIIT Power is 27 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. This was a very intense interval cardio workout. It has a warm up, a cool down and a nice deep lower body stretch. You are doing 4 blocks of intervals. Each block contains 4 intervals of 30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of active recovery. Between each block you get 30 seconds of rest. There are no complicated exercises but they are all done very fast. Christian has extra strong bungees and so do I but I still could not keep up with him. I don’t think that had anything to do with my bungees. I think Christian is just younger and fitter and therefore can move a lot faster. But I will test it! I also got ultra strong bungees for Christmas. I’ve been using my extra strong bungees for a month now. When I swap them for my ultras I will return to this workout and see if I can keep up with Christian. Anyway, you do things like high knee runs, fast feet, jacks squat jacks, alternating kicks and more. Bellicon estimates you will burn 371 calories. I burned 199 calories. ***Ultra strong bungee update. Nope–it definitely wasn’t the bungees. Even with my ultra strong bungees I could not keep up with Christian. He’s crazy fast!***
Ankle Stability Drill is 32 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + ankle/foot work. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. You will need a towel for this workout. I liked this workout much more than I expected to. This workout is so varied. Christian works your feet and ankles through mobility, strength and stability work. He intersperses these ankle focused drills with cardio and balance work (though the balance is the stability work). The cardio is so varied and lots of fun. I really enjoyed the combos he put together. They were set well to his music choices. An excellent fun workout! Bellicon estimates you will burn 205 calories. I burned 192 calories.
Cardio Workout is 33 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Cardio. This was a low intensity cardio workout. No complicated moves. In fact, this is a great intro to rebounding and perfect for someone who is new to exercising. I did start to perspire about 2/3 of the way through the workout. I also did many of the moves at a higher intensity than what Christian was doing to get a bit more out of the workout. There is long warm up, a cool down and a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 158 calories. I burned 215 calories.
Full Body HIIT is 35 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio w/ core. This was definitely an advanced level workout. I worked very hard. Other than the warm up and cool down/stretch, this entire workout is done interval fashion. It starts with 30/15 intervals (30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery) and ends with 45/15 intervals. Most of it is cardio drills on the rebounder but there is some core work, some plank work, even some burpees. I worked very hard. Bellicon estimates you will burn 486 calories, which seems pretty excessive. According to my FitBit I burned 220 calories.
Core & Cardio is 36 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. You need a towel for this workout. This is one of Christian’s LIIT workouts. LIIT stands for low intensity interval training. This workout has 4 circuits. Each circuit contains 4 intervals in which you do 30 seconds of moderate intensity followed by 60 seconds of a low intensity move. All of the 30 second intervals are core focused but they are also cardio bouncing–so you will not be laying on the mat for core work or doing any planks. I did break a sweat but it was not intense. It just elevated my heart rate into the fat burn zone. Another enjoyable low intensity cardio workout that is perfect for a recovery day. Bellicon estimates you will burn 224 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 218 calories.
Cardio LIIT is 36 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. You need a towel for this workout. LIIT stands for low intensity interval training. This is obviously the opposite of HIIT training and is perfect for a recovery day. This workout has 4 circuits. Each circuit contains 4 intervals in which you do 30 seconds of moderate intensity followed by 60 seconds of a low intensity move. This workout did make me perspire but nothing major. I used it for my recovery day and did a long deep stretch afterward. It is a perfect recovery day workout. It is also perfect for some new to rebounding or new to fitness. There are no difficult or advanced moves but he does challenge your coordination during the last LIIT circuit. You will also hold the towel during the last circuit. The last circuit will give your upper body a bit of work, but again, nothing major. Overall this was a very enjoyable and feel good workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 224 calories. I burned 231 calories. According to my Apple Watch I never even entered my cardio zone in the course of this workout. I remained in my fat burn heart rate zone.
Tabata Action is 42 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. The first 2 minutes of this workout is Christian telling you about the workout. You get a long warm up and a long cool down and stretch at the end. This is a cardio + body weight strength workout. The tabata circuits are the strength portion. They are done traditional tabata format: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. There are 3 tabata circuits. Between each tabata there is a cardio circuit. The cardio is done interval style, too, but rather than being timed like the tabatas it is done to the musics’ rhythm. Since some of the tabata moves are done on the floor (still using the bellion), you might want to wear shoes. I usually do wear shoes for workouts in which you are on and off the rebounder but for this one just having a mat beside the rebounder worked fine. I wore my bellicon socks without issues. This was a fun and intense workout. Christian shows different levels of all of the strength moves. There are no complicated cardio bounce moves but he varies everything to keep things interesting. Bellicon estimates you will burn 360 calories. I burned 251 calories.
Basic Fit is 44 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a great recovery level workout. If you want to take your workouts down a notch but still want a great full body workout, this is the workout for you. It has a very long warm up but the warm up also incorporates balance and mobility and a bit of strength—the strength is more conditioning rather than muscle building. There are no complicated cardio moves and the cardio is not high intensity. Christian alternates cardio circuits with strength/balance circuits. Everything is done on the rebounder—your feet never touch the floor until the stretch at the end. This workout has a cool down then you do some core work laying on the rebounder and you end with a relaxing stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 248 calories. I burned 302 calories.
Clarissa B Clarissa has been a fitness trainer for 10 years. She has experience in rehab orthopedics, yoga, Zumba and now Bellicon.
15 Minute Relaxation is 15 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. No rebounder is needed for this workout. It is all done on a fitness mat. For this workout you are holding deep stretches for a long time. It can get uncomfortable but it also feels good. You will hold butterfly, puppy pose, pigeon pose, lying spinal twists; you also do a wide leg seated forward fold stretch (legs straight and in a V). The workout ends seated cross-leg with eyes closed for several minutes while Clarissa talks. She says calming things but the sound quality wasn’t great on this video and sometimes the music drowns her out. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 82 calories.
Athletic Yoga is 32 minutes. It is a level level 6 workout. Yoga/flexibility. There is no bouncing in this workout. Zero. Not a single bounce. It is all yoga on your rebounder. This workout was a mixed bag. It was all good, but there was some gentle flexibility and some difficult (for me) poses that we seemed to hold for a very long time. Clarissa does many traditional yoga poses on or using your rebounder. In fact the only pose that you are not on the rebounder for is a crescent pose variation–your front foot is on the rebounder and back foot is on the floor. The rest of the pose are all done on the rebounder. Clarissa frequently has you flowing between poses. The one I had a problem with was a yoga squat. Not only did she have you hold it for what seemed like forever, but she had you doing alternating reaches while in it (reaching one arm toward the ceiling while looking/twisting upper body up with arm). I had to keep coming out of the pose because my legs couldn’t hold me there that long. But other than that I was able to do everything with Clarissa. You get some deep flexibility, some mobility and some body weight strength. My only real complaint about this workout was Clarissa’s cuing. There were some exercises where you cannot look at the TV and still do them correctly, but if you did not, then she was flowing between moves without cuing you when to change position. So that was awkward for your form. But overall I enjoyed it and felt good at the end. Bellicon estimates you will burn 192 calories which seems insane. This is 30 minutes of yoga and only about 30% of it is on the aggressive side. 192 calorie burn is unrealistic. I burned 48 calories.
Full Body Workout is 34 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a cardio + body weight strength workout. The different segments are done by songs. You alternate cardio songs with strength songs. Clarissa gives you a great workout. Lots of squats, planks, and some intense core work at the end. You also get push ups and tricep dips. The cardio isn’t super intense but it does the job. This is a fun workout and I really like Clarissa. I hope she does a lot more workouts. This workout doesn’t have much of a warm up but it has a nice cool down/stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 244 calories. I burned 201 calories.
Mobility is 34 minutes. It is a level level 4 workout. Yoga/flexibility. Another yoga/flexibility workout from Clarissa. It is similar to her Athletic Yoga but the moves are different. This also contains some challenging exercises. It seems a little odd to me because this is only a level 4 workout–so it should be a fairly easy workout, right? Anyway, it is not advanced or anything, but it felt more challenging than a level 4 to me. There is a lot of dynamic flexibility in this workout. I think Clarissa cued better in this workout, too. There is even some pilates at the very end of the workout. Another enjoyable and effective yoga workout from Clarissa. Bellicon estimates you will burn 154 calories. Again–that is so absurd. I burned 40 calories. And I had just completed a 34 minute cardio rebounder workout beforehand as a warm up! So I came to this with my heart rate already elevated!
Gratitude Flow is 43 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Yoga. This is another no bounce yoga workout from Clarissa. She has recently released 6 yoga workouts done on the rebounder. I plan to eventually try them all. This workout was more challenging than I expected it to be. All of the moves are done on the rebounder. Because of this, your balance is frequently challenged. You also do lots of downward facing dogs and variations with your feet and hands on the frame. This can get painful for both. I wore my yoga shoes which took care of the foot pain. I placed my towel under my hands but that still hurt. When I do her other yoga workouts I will use my mini foam pad to protect my hands (looks like a yoga mat for a doll). Other than these little nitpicks, this is a solid yoga workout. The workout starts with moves while in hero pose (double kneeling with glutes on heels, but she will have you rise in and out of high double kneeling). Then you do cat/cow variations. Next is your first down dog. Then you do a deep kneeling lunge and she will have you do various things while in this position–my balance was definitely challenged here! Next is puppy pose. Between most of these btw, you return to down dog pose. Then you do some warrior/pyramid variations with your front foot on the rebounder and back foot on the floor. She has you flow in and out of poses. Next is child’s pose followed by thread the needle. These are not static poses btw–she has you do things to make them active, such as in child’s pose you are holding the rebounder frame with your hands, she has your raise your arms off the mat while still holding the frame, then release so your arms are on the mat again. Then you do bird dog pose. Next you flow between down dog and plank pose. Then you go into three legged dog pose. Baby cobra. Then she has you do several scorpion variation ending with a full cobra. Then you sit cross-legged on the mat and do some upper body mobility stretches. The last 8 minutes of this workout is meditation, which is where the gratitude in the title comes in. Clarissa talks to you while you sit with your eyes closed about being grateful. For the final minute of the workout she has you move your arms and spine while still sitting cross-leg. Bellicon estimates you will burn 156 calories. I burned 150 calories.
Daisy M Daisy is a Bellicon dance instructor in New Orleans. Her bounce dance workouts are choreographed.
Quick Cardio is 7 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This workout is a short and to the point HIIT workout. You are just doing intervals of fast jumps, jacks and sprints. You alternate the intense one minute intervals with lower intensity 20 second intervals to recover. Simple and to the point but intense! Bellicon estimates you will burn 52 calories. I actually did this workout in combination with another workout (Jungle T-Bar Bounce by Faythe C which is 17 minutes). I did this workout first then finished with Faythe’s workout. Between the two I burned 186 calories.
Quick Fat Burning T-Bar Workout is 8 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This is another short and intense workout from Daisy. This one isn’t HIIT but it is non-stop cardio. No complicated moves but you are doing bouncing combos in time with the music. No warm up or cool down. A fun and intense little add on. I used it as a warm up before one of Daisy’s longer cardio workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 81 calories. I burned 74 calories.
Booty Blast Workout is 12 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Strength. This is a short but intense lower body barre workout. The only bouncing in this workout is a brief warm up and some very short recovery bounces between lower body exercises. You do get a brief warm up and a stretch. Daisy hits your glutes and lower body through all varieties of squats–regular squats, barre squats. wide plie squats with heels raised and curtsy squats. You also do standing hydrants. There is lots of isomeric pulsing, too, to burn your legs out. In fact, several times during this short workout Daisy’s leg muscles started trembling. She always pointed it out and you could see it! So it was frying her legs, too! Bellicon estimates you will burn 77 calories. I burned 52 calories.
High Intensity T-Bar Cardio Blast is 19 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. Another intense pure cardio workout from Daisy. I really enjoy her workouts. I actually started with her Quick Fat Burning T-Bar Workout and finished with this one. This workout gives you a warm up and stretch. You need a set of 1 or 2 pound hand weights for this workout. The hand weights are only used for short time during the workout to increase the intensity of some of the moves. This workout is very similar to her Quick Fat Burning T-Bar Workout–just longer and with more moves. Nothing complicated but it is intense and fun. Bellicon estimates you will burn 159 calories. I burned 153 calories.
Just Dance is 26 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout builds in intensity. It starts out very low key, which serves as a warm up, then it slowly builds in intensity. At one point, about 2/3-3/4 of the way through the workout, it gets pretty intense. Then level drops again. That serves as sort of a cool down, but in my opinion, the intensity never actually drops to cool down level. There is no stretch. This workout is made up of some basic and a few more advanced bounce moves. What makes this “dancy” is that Daisy puts the moves together in combos. You do jacks, hip twist hops, scissor runs, high knee runs, among other moves and she also adds various arm movements. This was a fun cardio rebounder workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 234 calories. I burned 222 calories.
Dustin R Dustin is a new trainer to Bellicon but not a new trainer to me! He has been creating YouTube rebounder workouts for a while. He received a dance degree in London and now teaches fitness classes in Los Angeles. He shares during one of his workouts that he used to be a professional Bollywood dancer!
Cardio Push is 29 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. You get a nice warm up and a cool down but a very short upper body focused stretch, which makes no sense to me. Your lower body is what gets the brunt of the work. The structure of this workout is one circuit of 10 exercises. The circuit is repeated 3 times. The first time it is done to 30/15 intervals (30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest). The second time it is done to 30/10 intervals and the final time it is done to 20/10 intervals. Here are the exercises: 1. soccer kicks while pushing arms overhead; 2. high knee runs with alternating cross punches; 3. jump forward and back to the front, to the side, to the front then to the other side, arms raise and lower in front of you when hopping forward; 4. 4 jumping jacks + 8 scissor runs; 5. mountain climbers (hands on rebounder and feet on floor); 6. heel digs to single-single-double pattern; 7. squat jacks, tap fingers to mat when in squat, when feet are together hop 2x; 8. hopping hip twists to single-single-double pattern; 9. single knee raises 8x each leg, arms raise overhead and pull down to knee when it raises; 10. burpee–jump once on the rebounder, step backward off the rebounder onto the floor, place hands on rebounder mat, jump feet back into plank, do one push up, jump feet back into hands then step back onto rebounder. This was a fun workout. I really enjoyed it. There are no complicated moves. However, it was definitely not a level 9. This was maybe an intermediate level workout. Because there is floor work, I had to wear shoes. ☹️ I like to do my cardio rebounder workouts in my bellicon socks but if there is floor work, I have to wear shoes. According to Bellicon you will burn 501 calories. WTF? Where do they get these numbers???? According to my Apple Watch I burned 175 calories.
Cardio Glow is 42 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. You get a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This workout is tons of fun! I loved it! The intensity in this workout really builds. Even Dustin comments near the end that it was more intense than he expected! This workout is set up in blocks. There are 5 blocks and each block contains 4 exercises. You will repeat each block 3 times. There are a few slightly complex moves but the majority of the complexity (when it is complex–all of the moves are not complex) is from coordinating arm movements with leg movements. The first time through the block Dustin teaches you the moves. Then you run through the block two more times doing the full move (no teaching/layering). Some of the moves are combo moves that combine two moves together, so sometimes it seems like a block has more than 4 moves, but the 2 moves actually count as one move sine they are always done together. During one of the blocks you are doing so much arm work that my shoulders were starting to burn! Dustin comments that his shoulders were burning, too! This is an excellent cardio workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 338 calories.
Intense Cardio is 46 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. You get a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. You also need the bellicon balls or some light hand weights. I have 2 pound weighted balls very similar to bellicon balls so that is what I used. This workout is set up in 5 blocks. Each block contains 4 exercises. You will run through each block 3 times and each time you repeat the block, you do less reps so it gets shorter each time. I didn’t time it but Dustin indicated that each block takes about 5 minutes to get through. I did not find this to be an “intense” workout as the title indicates but I did get some solid steady state cardio. 2 of the blocks use the bellicon balls and my arms really started burning during the second block using the bellicon balls! There are no advanced moves, but Dustin uses a lot of tempo combos (6 singles, one double–that kind of thing), so it can take some mental concentration at times. I messed up several times but it doesn’t really matter because I always moving. You are on the rebounder for the entire workout except the last part of the stretch but you can do that on the rebounder too if you have a T bar. This was a fun and solid cardio workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 362 calories.
Cardio Blast is 47 minutes long (with a one minute intro). It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. You get a nice long warm up, cool down and stretch. This was a fun cardio workout. It was not super intense but I was definitely sweating and working. There is a big problem with this workout however–the sound! The music drowns out most of what Dustin is saying, so it is more of a follow along workout than a cued workout. But none of the moves are complex or difficult so it is easy to follow. And the music is good! Dustin has set this workout up in blocks or circuits. Each circuit contains 4-6 moves and most are repeated 3 times. The first circuit contains heel digs, tap outs, monkeys, wide/low kicks, and high knee runs. The second circuit contains hopping hip twists, jack variations, and soccer kicks while turning in a circle. The third circuit is all kinds of punch variations (side punches, front punches, hook punches, upper cuts, etc.). The next circuit is a stepping on and off the rebounder like it is a step. You do 3 different variations. The last circuit is front kicks, side kicks, back/diagonal kicks, scissor runs, and pony hops. Then you get your cool down cardio and a long (6 minute) stretch. I really enjoyed this workout. I wore my bellicon socks and placed a thick mat beside my rebounder for the step ups. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 261 calories.
Full Length Jump Fun is 60 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + glute toning. The majority of this workout is cardio but the very end (after the cool down and before the stretch) has some glute toning; in fact, 2 songs worth. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is part of Dustin’s 4 part series of hour long rebounder workouts. This was a very enjoyable workout but definitely not a level 10. It did feel like the intensity built as the workout progressed, but it never got super intense. There are no complicated moves. Dustin puts together a combo of 2-3 exercises. Each combo is set to a song and when the song is done, you move on to the next combo. You will also use the T bar if you have one for some of the “power” exercises. This just means you are jumping/pushing down harder into the rebounder and you hold into the bar for support. Dustin has two background exercisers present and one of them does all of the exercises without a bar. There are only 2 songs that use the bar. As already mentioned, the glute work at the end is set to 2 songs. For the first song you do squat variations on the rebounder and for the second song you are on your back on the rebounder doing glute bridges. I enjoyed this workout a lot but it never got super intense. I’ve done 3 of Dustin’s hour long workouts so far (there are 4 total) and this one was probably the easiest/lowest intensity so far. According to my Apple Watch, I was only in Zone 4 of my heart rate a total of 3 minutes! I spent the majority of the workout in Zone 3 and 2. (The Apple Watch has 5 heart rate Zones with Zone 1 being normal/no exertion and Zone 5 being peak/max heart rate–going all out). Bellicon estimates you will burn 680 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 411 calories.
Jumpin’ Hour is 61 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + toning. The majority of this workout is cardio but the very end (after the cool down and before the stretch) has some toning; in fact, 2 songs worth. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is part of Dustin’s 4 part series of hour long rebounder workouts. It was a lot of fun and some great cardio. It is more of a steady state cardio workout. Nothing super intense but Dustin does get your heart rate up there. There are also no complicated moves. The foot work is all pretty basic though he does use tempo changes which can sometimes get tricky–especially when he frequently messes up those tempos. The arm movements are a bit more complex sometimes but still, nothing crazy. Dustin puts together a combo of 3-4 exercise. Each combo is set to a song. You use the T bar if you have one for some of the “power” exercises. This just means you are jumping/pushing down harder into the rebounder and you hold into the bar for support. Dustin has two background exercisers present and one of them does all of the exercises without a bar. There are only 2 songs that use the bar. As is frequently the case, I am not certain what the level 10 is referring to. To me, this was not level 10 intensity. The first toning song at the end is calf and inner thigh work. You are standing on the rebounder and you will do calf raises followed by barre style leg lifts that target the inner thigh. Dustin and his crew balance on one leg for these exercises, but if you have a T bar, just hold onto it (unless you want the balance work). The second toning song is tricep dips and push ups using the rebounder. Bellicon estimates you will burn 680 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 434 calories.
60 Minute Power Jump is 62 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. There is some core work at the end but this is a cardio workout. There is a warm up and a stretch. I was thrilled when Dustin’s new workouts appeared. 4 hour long workouts that are primarily cardio! I was very excited! This was the first of the collection that I did and I loved it! There is a lot going on in this long workout so I will not be breaking it all down. Dustin puts together little combos. Each combo contains 2-4 exercises and each combo is set to a song. Once the song is over you can throw it out because you are moving on to something new and different. Lots of variety. There are some dancy move that require some coordination but, at least for me, nothing I had a problem catching onto. You also use the T bar if you have one for some of the “power” exercises. This just means you are jumping/pushing down harder into the rebounder and you hold into the bar for support. Dustin has two background exercisers present and one of them does all of the exercises without a bar. As is frequently the case, I am not certain what the level 10 is referring to. To me, this was not level 10 intensity. Maybe the level 10 is referring to the length or the dancy moves that require some coordination? I don’t know, but this is not advanced or even super intense. According to my Apple Watch, I spent the bulk of the workout in Zone 3, only spiking into Zone 4 a total of 10 minutes. (The Apple Watch has 5 Zone with Zone 1 being normal/no exertion and Zone 5 being peak/max heart rate–going all out). So this was more of a steady state cardio workout. It was very enjoyable. Dustin has lots of energy and even got off the rebounder to dance on the floor! The core work at the end consists of some plank work with hands on the rebounder and feet on the floor, and some ab exercises where you are laying on your back on the rebounder. Bellicon estimates you will burn 680 calories. I burned 448 calories.
Power Hour is 64 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. There is some core work at the end but this is a cardio workout. There is a warm up, a cool down before the core work and a stretch at the end. This is the 4th in Dustin’s 4 part series of hour long cardio workouts. Although all of the workouts in this series are labeled as level 10, none of them deserved that rating in my opinion. They are all steady state cardio workouts and they are all lots of fun. So please do not let the level 10 label stop you from doing them. They are not advanced workouts. For this workout Dustin did use a few more complex moves but nothing advanced. There were a few squat jump variations, but not all out squat jumps, which can be serious leg burners. I am accustomed to advanced level squat jumps done on the rebounder (Naomi Joy), so I know the difference. Naomi burns by legs out, these did not. This is formatted similar to the other 3 in the series. Dustin puts together a combo of 2-3 exercises. Each combo is set to a song and when the song is done, you move on to the next combo. You will also use the T bar if you have one for some of the “power” exercises. This just means you are jumping/pushing down harder into the rebounder and you hold into the bar for support. Dustin has two background exercisers present and one of them does all of the exercises without a bar. 3 songs that use the bar. For one move you will be stepping off the rebounder with one foot but not jumping on the floor. I wore my Bellicon rebounding socks. I put yoga mats on the floor on either side of my rebounder to protect my feet for that move. But you are on your rebounder for everything else. For a workout labeled Level 10, I would expect to be in my peak heart rate zone at some point (The Apple Watch has 5 Zone with Zone 1 being normal/no exertion and Zone 5 being peak/max heart rate–going all out). I spent the majority of the workout in Zone 3–definitely steady state cardio. Bellicon estimates you will burn 680 calories. I burned 412 calories.
Faythe C Faythe is one of my favorite Bellicon trainers. She has a very warm persona that makes every workout she leads more enjoyable. She is a dancer, choreographer and fitness instructor. She holds lots of pilates certifications and has both a BA and an MA in dance. She also teaches fitness to people with special conditions–breast cancer survivors, pre and post natal and more. There is a lot more in her lengthy biography on Bellicon but those are the highlights. She is pretty impressive!
Foot Exercises is 7 minutes. It is a level 1 workout. And it is not actually a workout. This is more of an instructional video for stretching and strengthening the feet. Faythe says she created it because a lot of people talk about foot pain from bouncing on the Bellicon. I have never had foot pain on either of my rebounders and I have very bad feet (12 screws and 2 plates in each heel). In fact, rebounding has strengthened my feet. But nevertheless, I am always looking for ways to make my feet stronger and healthier so I checked this out. You need the Bellicon balls for this. If you don’t have those you can use a tennis ball but the Bellicon balls are filled with sand but not to capacity so they are softer and more pliable. You are rolling them under your foot for one exercise. You do some strengthening exercises for the feet, then Faythe spends time showing how to properly stand/jump on the rebounder and it ends with foot stretches. Since this is not an actual workout, no estimated calorie burn is given.
Stretching in the Sun is 8 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Stretch. If this is level 2 then WTC is level 1? (oh, I see–above) This is a great add on to use at the end of one of the Bellicon workouts that does not include a stretch–such as workouts buy Arnita C. Faythe is outside on a dock with water and boats behind her. You are laying or sitting on the Bellicon for the entire stretch. Not a single bounce. Not a big deal of course since the entire point is to stretch you out at the end of a workout. And it did a great job!
Holiday HIIT Burn is 8 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. This is called Holiday HIIT because Faythe filmed the workout outside during the holidays. It is a quick and intense little calorie burn. Faythe warms you up but there is no cool down or stretch. You do 5 cardio bounce exercises. Each is done at high intensity for 40 seconds and you get a 10 second recovery. And that’s it! Quick and fun. Use it as a finisher to another workout or like I did this morning–to warm me up before a longer workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 44 calories. I burned 55 calories.
Calorie Burning on the Bellicon is 10 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + strength. Faythe packs a lot into 10 minutes. She even warms you up and gives your lower body a stretch at the end. This is primarily cardio that builds to some intense jump moves. Then you do a bouncing plank and tricep dips. So nothing complicated and it is only 10 minutes. I used this workout as a warm up before another workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 56 calories. I burned 60 calories.
Ease in Stretch is 10 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. This is a gentle feel good stretch. Faythe focuses on the neck, the lower body and the spine. You do not need your rebounder for this workout or shoes. It is all done laying or sitting on a fitness mat. This is a really nice routine to add on after an intense workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. Accoridng to my Apple Watch I burned 52 calories.
Hip Release Stretches is 11 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. The stretch session is actually 10 minutes; the first minute is the intro music and Faythe’s intro to the stretch practice. This session is done on the mat, no rebounder needed. And as the title indicates, it is hip focused. There are no advanced level poses. Just feel good stretches that are easy to preform. This is a great little practice to add onto the end of another workout–either cardio or lower body focused. Bellicon estimates you will burn 39 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 43 calories.
Feel it in 5 is 11 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Strength. This is a tabata workout. Traditional tabata format is: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. In order to get the full benefit of a tabata workout you have to give it your all and go all out during the 20 second interval. This workout is made up of one tabata–so 4 minutes of work. But Faythe also gives you a warm up and a cool down. The tabata alternates two exercises: kneeling to standing and roll back crunches on the Bellicon. I will admit that I did not go “all out” with the intervals so I didn’t get the full benefit of this tabata, but it did give me a nice little workout at the intensity/effort I gave it. Bellicon estimates you will burn 74 calories. I did this workout + another 12 minute workout. Between the two workouts I burned a total of 140 calories.
Relax Post Workout is 11 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Stretch. This is exactly what the title indicates. If you just did an intense workout this will cool you down and relax you. There isn’t a ton of stretching but there is some spinal stretches. The first half Faythe has you doing gentle hops–no intensity. Then you lay down on the Bellicon mat for some relaxation and a little bit of stretching. I did expect more stretching since this is a “post workout” cool down. But it does work very well to cool you down after something more intense. Bellicon estimates you will burn 46 calories. I burned 42 calories. I had just finished an intense workout so my heart rate was slightly elevated already. I say “slightly” because that workout had a cool down/stretch–so I was already cooled down when I came to this.
10 Minute Cardio Workout is 11 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. For such a short workout, this has a very long, no bounce warm up. The cardio does not actually start until there is less than 7 minutes left of the workout. There is no cool down or stretch so this is a great workout to use as a warm up before a longer workout, which is how I used it. The cardio is all high knee jogging with various arm movements. Bellicon estimates you will burn 29 calories. I burned 64 calories.
Express Glutes is 11:30 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Lower body toning. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. Part of the warm up is doing bird dogs. This is a nice little add on workout. I did it after doing Dustin’s Cardio Blast (which is about about 46 minutes). After the warm up, you will do some squat variations standing on the rebounder. Then you will get into a modified side plank on the rebounder (bottom arm straight and hand holding the frame, bottom knee on mat, top leg extended), and you will do leg lift variations; raise and lower top straight leg, then circle it, then pull the knee into the chest and push it out, then swing straight leg in front of you then return to side. This workout is not complicated or advanced, and the burn is minor but you do feel it near the end of the leg lifts (or at least I did!). There is some music but you can barely hear it. Bellicon estimates you will burn approximately 63 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 29 calories.
Rejuvenating Bounce is 12 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Cardio. This is a short but sweet feel good workout. Faythe even warms you up and cools you down–not that you really need it. I used this workout as a warm up before another long intense rebounder workout. You start with a health bounce (feet not leaving the canvas) with arm movements then you take it up to bouncing (feet off the canvas). But nothing intense or strenuous. Bellicon estimates you will burn 66 calories. I burned 85 calories.
Bouncing at the Pier is 13 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + toning. This is a short little cardio workout with a little toning circuit in the middle of the workout. There are no complicated or challenging moves—just bouncing with arm movements, and the toning is some kneeling core work and leg lifts. There is no dedicated warm up and no cool down or stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 56 calories. I burned 84 calories.
beLIGHT program. This is a 10 day program that is a great introduction to rebounding. In fact, when you buy a Bellicon, Bellicon gives you a 60 day free trial of their streaming site. So I started with this program to learn proper rebounding. I had already been rebounding for a month and a half on a spring bound rebounder, but this series taught me a lot about proper rebounding form and techniques. It contains 10 workouts all ranging from 13-34 minutes though they average around 27-30 minutes. Though it is labeled a weight loss program none of the workouts are huge calorie burners. The levels of the workouts are 6, 7 or 8. All of the workouts include warm ups and stretches (even the short ones), some intense cardio drills and usually some body weight strength work. There is also does some coordination and agility work. Faythe acts as trainer in this series. Someone else is doing the workout while she stands beside them giving instructions and form pointers. It is a great series to start with when you are new to rebounding. I am not breaking down each workout because I did this series before it ever occurred to me to create this blog post and I am not really motivated to return to any of the workouts. They were good workouts but as you can see, Bellicon has hundreds more I want to try. I may return to one or two of the workouts one day. When/if I do, I will update this review. ***Update–this morning I did Workout #6 as an add on workout to round out my hour. It is 16 minutes. It has a long warm up, some coordination work and a plank hold at the end. The actual cardio is interval based–40 seconds of work followed by 20 seconds of rest. There is about 5 minutes of that. You also get a stretch. For Workout #6 Bellicon estimates you will burn 118 calories. I burned 117 calories.***
Heart Opener is 14 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio (sort of) & flexibility. This is another very low key, low intensity, feel good workout. Another recovery day workout. You will not break a sweat. Though there is a movement to (slightly) elevate the heart rate, there is no bouncing. The focus of this workout is on opening your chest (“heart” opener). The workout starts sitting on the rebounder with spinal mobility stretches. Then you do the “cardio” portion of the workout, which is stepping side to side on the rebounder while doing chest opening exercises with your arms. Unlike some of her other recovery level workouts, Faythe doesn’t burn out your arms and shoulders in this one. The “cardio” ends with marching in place. Then workout ends with a nice long feel good stretch. I use Faythe’s workouts like these as recovery day workouts. I stack several of them together to get in some nice movement and stretching without breaking a sweat. Is is very feel good! Bellicon estimates you will burn 63 calories. I burned 60 calories.
Quick Break From Work is 14 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio. This was created to give you a short burst of activity at work but nothing so intense you are sweating since the idea is you are at work–so wearing nice clothes, hair fixed, etc. Or maybe you’re like me and have been teleworking since March 2020, so you can just walk into your workout room to take a break if you want to. No real warm up is necessary because it never gets intense, but Faythe does start you out easier and builds. But again, it never builds to anything intense. You are doing some basic jump moves, nothing complicated. The most complicated moves is a low cross jack. The last 5 minutes is a stretch. If you are able, it really is a nice little break from your work day. I used it as a warm up before doing one of Bellicon’s more intense tabata workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 62 calories. I burned 75 calories.
Morning Workout is 15 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio w/ core. This is another feel good workout from Faythe. For most of the workout you are just doing some basic bouncing moves–shift hops, jumping jacks, scissor feet, etc. In the middle of the workout she has you sit on the mat for some core work which was rather intense in comparison to the rest of the workout. You do some brief balance work at the end. Overall it is a nice little workout to wake you up. I used it as a warm up before a more intense, longer workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 67 calories. I burned 83 calories.
Feel Good Flow is 16 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio (sort of) & flexibility. This is another very low key, low intensity, feel good workout. A recovery day workout. You will not break a sweat. Though there is a movement to (slightly) elevate the heart rate, there is no bouncing. The workout starts with mobility exercises to mobilize the spine. Then you will do some heel digs and side steps while doing a lot of arm movements. The arm movements do start to burn the shoulders. The “cardio” ends with marching in place. Then you finish the workout with a long feel good stretching session. I use Faythe’s workouts like these as recovery day workouts. I stack several of them together to get in some nice movement and stretching without breaking a sweat. Is is very feel good! Bellicon estimates you will burn 63 calories. I burned 86 calories.
Gratitude Moves is 16 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio (sort of). This is an extremely low key workout. The “gratitude” in the title refers to the fact Faythe filmed this on Thanksgiving. This was filmed Bellicon had a live streaming service. Now they have moved some of those live videos over to their Home Streaming, including this one. The biggest difference between Live and Home streaming is there is no timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen. There is no actual jumping or bouncing in this workout. You are moving throughout though. Stepping side to side and forward and back while doing arm movements. The arm movements are range of motion type moves that actually start to burn a little! There is some coordination type combos, too, but nothng horribly complicated. The workout ends with a stretch. A warm up is not required. I never broke a sweat. But it is a nice recovery day workout or for people who are injured or have mobility problems to help you get some movement in. I used this on my recovery day as a sort of warm up before moving on to other workouts (specifically Bellicon’s TMX workouts). Bellicon estimates you will burn 105 calories. I burned 90 calories.
Jungle T-Bar Bounce is 17 minutes. It is a Level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout was short but intense. It is Faythe, so even with it being a short workout she manages to squeeze in a warm up and a cool down/stretch. You alternate intense cardio intervals with bodyweight strength exercises. And everything uses the T-bar. Unlike some workouts, you are aiming at jumping higher and using the T-bar to assist you. And it was intense. Especially the first cardio interval. After the warm up you start with the longest and most intense of the cardio intervals. Then you do squats with knee raises with one foot on the rebounder (one hand is also holding the T-bar). Next is another intense cardio interval then you do standing push up variations with your hands on the T-bar and your feet at the back of the rebounder. Next is another intense cardio interval then you do some standing core work. This is probably the easiest move in the workout–side bends. Then you have a final cardio interval then cool down and stretch. Excellent and intense little workout! I actually combined this with another workout. I started with Quick Cardio by Daisy M and finished with this workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 126 calories. Between this workout and Quick Cardio (which is about 6 minutes long) I burned 186 calories.
Sunshine Bounce is 17 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + toning. Fayth does this workout at a pier in Chicago. This is another workout that did not seem like a level 6 workout to me. It was very low key. You just do basic bounce variations. She also does marching on the rebounder—without any bouncing. About halfway through you stop bouncing and do some toning work for the arms—all standing, but your shoulders will start to burn a little. You also do some balance work. She also does some stretching for the upper body. There is no designated warm up or cool down or stretch (at the end) but again, it is not an intense workout so I am not sure any of that is really needed. Bellicon estimates you will burn 69 calories. I burned 125 calories.
Posture Reset is 18 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Functional Strength. You need the weighted balls that bellicon used to sell or light hand weights. This workout is done on the rebounder but there is no jumping. It is very low impact. You will be stepping side to side or doing heel digs while doing most of the arm/shoulder work, but you will never bounce. It starts with a mobility warm up for the upper body (no movement in the lower body). Then the more active work begins. Lots of shoulder and upper body strengthening and mobility moves while stepping side to side. My shoulders actually started to burn. Next you grab the balls or light dumbbells and repeat everything but holding weight. You will do less reps so it actually doesn’t burn as bad as it did when you are doing the moves without weights! Near the end of this part the side steps change to heel digs. The workout ends with some nice deep stretching for the upper body. This is an excellent functional strength and mobility workout. I used it with Barbra’s Shoulder workout and Christian’s Shoulder TMX workout (both reviewed above) and between the 3 workouts my shoulders got some excellent strength and mobility work. These types of workouts are perfect recovery day workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 105 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 68 calories.
Beautiful Bottom Burn is 18 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a lower body strength + cardio workout. You will need a booty band/resistance loop. Faythe is using a rubber one but it was rolling up her thighs. I used an elastic cloth booty band which does not roll and gives just as much (if not better) resistance. You start with the booty band around your thighs. Faythe gives you a warm up then works your lower body very well through standing bounces, mat work on the Bellicon and jump squats. Then you remove the booty band for some basic cardio bouncing (jumping jacks and lateral ski jumps). The workout ends with a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 99 calories. I burned 71 calories.
Relaxation Time is 19 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio. This is a low intensity, feel good cardio bouncing workout. I used this after one of Bellicon’s more intense cardio workouts as a sort of cool down. While you bounce there is also some stretching but you are not holding any stretches–dynamic flexibility with low intensity bouncing. And you are not doing any complicated bounce moves–just basic bounces. Bellicon estimates you will burn 81 calories. I burned 109 calories. But remember, I had just finished an intense workout, so I came to this with my heart rate already elevated.
Bouncing at the Beach 19 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. Fayth does this workout at the 12th street beach in Chicago. I did not feel like this was level 6 intensity. It was a low key cardio workout. You are only doing basic bounce variations—in place, side to side, forward and back, shift hopping foot to foot, all of these with basic arm movements. About halfway into the workout you stop jumping and do some shoulder/spine mobility/flexibility work then it is back to the aforementioned bouncing. There is no designated warm up or cool down or stretch but again, it is not an intense workout so I am not sure any of that is really needed. Bellicon estimates you will burn 48 calories. I burned 138 calories.
Cardio Feel Good is 17 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Cardio. This is a very easy, beginner level workout. This workout is part of a series of beginner level workouts Faythe created for bellicon. This workout is the “finale” that takes all of the moves you learned in the previous workouts in the series and puts them together into this one. I didn’t do any of the other workouts in that series, so I cannot comment on that. This is a nice recovery sort of workout. I actually used it at the end of 50 minutes of much more intense rebounding. This served as a nice cool down and stretch. The non bouncing warm up is about 3 minutes then you start some very easy low key bouncing. The cardio bouncing never becomes advanced or hard, but in the context of this workout, it does become a little more intense. The workout ends with some plank work–but again, this is done beginner level. I just held the plank the entire time rather than come in and out of it like Faythe did. The workout ends with a nice feel good stretch. This workout is perfect for people new to rebounding and fitness. Bellicon estimates you will burn 117 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 102 calories.
Relaxing at the Beach is 22 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility/mobility. The workout starts with about 5 minutes of easy and gentle cardio to get you warmed up but the majority of the workout is flexibility and mobility work. Very gentle and feel good. Fayth does this workout at the 12th street beach in Chicago. All of the mobility/flexibility work is done sitting or laying on the rebounder. There are no deep stretches or complicated poses. Everything is gentle and feel good. I actually combined several of Fayth’s beach and sunshine workouts together to get a low key recovery day workout and I ended it with this one, which was the perfect way to finish it off. Bellicon estimates you will burn 55 calories. I burned 67 calories.
Hip & Leg Strengthening Workout is 24 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Strength. This is was an interesting workout. Not exactly easy, but less intense than I expected. Faythe says that she has gotten requests from people for hip strengthening workouts so she created this. Faythe is pregnant in this workout and acting entirely as trainer. A young German man did the exercises and she explained the form (and corrected his) in great detail. So some time is spent getting yourself in the correct position for the exercises. But you do feel them! I never broke a sweat and there isn’t much bouncing but I did feel as if my hips were worked. You need some equipment for this workout–a pilates or playground ball and a resistance loop/booty band. You also need the T bar on your rebounder to be able to do most of the exercises properly because balance is involved in most of them. Bellicon estimates you will burn 100 calories. I burned 74 calories.
Glute Lifter is 25 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Strength. This is another workout that Faythe is pregnant in, so she has a young woman dong the exercises while she explains form. This isn’t a cardio workout but a strength workout for your lower body done on the Bellicon. You need some props but they are used for only a few of the exercises: the weighted Bellicon balls or light hand weights and a pilates or playground ball. Faythe warms you up and stretches you out. It is useful to have a T bar for most of the exercises. You will be bouncing between exercises. You do basic squats then she has you hold a squat isometrically while doing tiny bounces–it burns! Then you do a lot of barre type exercises holding your T bar. Then she has you step off the rebounder and do lunge variations with front leg on rebounder and holding the Bellicon balls (and doing upper body exercises with the balls while doing stationary lunges). Finally you place the pilates ball between your thighs, kneel on the rebounder and do a squat variation in this position. The beginning of the stretch is actually a bit of an exercise, too. You are doing reverse table tops/crab variations on top of the rebounder. Bellicon estimates you will burn 125 calories. I burned 147 calories. I do have to note that I used this workout as a finisher. I had just completed a very metabolic lower body workout, so my heart rate was already elevated when I came to this workout.
Gentle Self Care is 25 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Stretch. I did this same day I did Bounce Away Stress. My back is still hurting so I needed something gentle. This is very gentle–even more so than Bounce Away Stress. About 2/3 of the workout is done laying on your Bellicon. In fact, it is the first 2/3 of the workout! You are doing some meditative deep breathing, hip tilts, rotating bent knees side to side and some very easy core work. When you stand on the rebounder you do some very simple balance work–so simple even I did not need to hold onto my T bar. You don’t do any true bouncing, just some health bouncing. A health bounce is when your feet don’t actually leave the rebounder. It was very gentle and did not aggravate my back. In fact, it might have even helped it a little. Bellicon estimates you will burn 92 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 67 calories.
Group Bounce Class is 27 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This is an intense cardio workout that also gives you some body weight strength work with an intense squat variation and push ups. I enjoyed it and worked hard. It has a warm up and a cool down/stretch. It estimates you will burn 199 calories. I burned 191 calories.
Breeze by the Lake is 29 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio. This is a very gentle, low level cardio workout. There is no high jumping. There is a lot of coordination moves using your arms and legs and the arm movements can start to burn a little. There is one rather complex move that I just had to go at my own pace. I couldn’t look at Faythe while I did it or I got confused. I had to focus my gaze somewhere else to get the moves down. But otherwise it is not a difficult or strenuous class. There is some gentle core work at the end followed by a gentle stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 118 calories. I burned 168 calories.
50 Minute Intermediate Art Gallery is actually 49 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + strength. Faythe says this is a be360 workout but I could not find a be360 program on the Bellicon Home site, so it must be something they do in Bellicon studios. Faythe says in a 360 workout you are getting everything–power, cardio, flexibility, balance and relaxation. These are the 5 aspects Bellicon classifies workouts by on their site. And you do get all of those things in a sense. You get a warm up and long stretch. After the warm up you do balance work. Then you do some moderate cardio. Then you move into power which is just body weight strength work using the Bellicon–no jumping. Then flexibility and it ends with relaxation–lying on the Bellicon with your eyes closed. This is not an intense workout but it is a very nice feel good workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 275 calories. I burned 217 calories.
50 Minute Challenge is 51 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. Faythe has 2 background exercisers with her–both Bellicon trainers. A woman named Paige (I have not yet done any of her workouts) and Jeremy (one of my favorite Bellicon trainers). Faythe says this is an advanced workout. And it was but it took a while to get going. The first 20 minutes of the class is warm up, balance work and coordination work. It didn’t feel very advanced–at least when I think of my heart pumping but the balance and coordination moves were challenging in their own way. Then you move into the intense cardio drills. The cardio drills consist of straight cardio, HIIT level sprints and agility work. The workout ends with bodyweight strength work using the Bellicon. You will do various plank moves, push ups and lunges. And it ends with a long stretch. Having done Faythe’s 10 workout beLIGHT program (see above) this is a typical Faythe workout. She gives you a long warm up, works you hard then gives you a long stretch. I really like Faythe and I always enjoy her workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 450 calories. My FitBit says I burned 293 calories.
Bounce Away Stress is 54 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio + strength. I really needed this workout this morning. I hurt my back yesterday. I had planned to do a level 9 workout this morning but I had to swap it out for something more gentle and luckily, Bellicon had me covered. This is a very gentle cardio + mobility + flexibility + balance workout. There is even some very light and basic body weight strength. You never do any high or intense jumping (which would have killed my back). In addition, Faythe even shows easier modifications if what is presented in the workout is too much for you. I was able to do everything but I had to hold onto my T bar for some of the balance moves. This is the perfect workout to use if you are injured or new to rebounding or you just need an easier day. Bellicon estimates you will burn 252 calories. My FitBit says I burned 238 calories.
Ida B. Ida is a personal trainer, massage therapist and group fitness instructor. English is not her native language but she didn’t reveal in any of her workouts that I’ve done where she is from. However, her last name is Bjorklund and that is Swedish or Norwegian. Regardless, I had no problems understanding her. She is very personable.
Cardio Fire is 28 minutes long. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up and a short stretch but no cool down. This is an interval workout. It is made up of 6 circuits. Each circuit contains 2 exercises that are repeated. Each exercise is done for 30 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest. Since you repeat the two exercises, each circuit is 3 minutes long. At the end of a circuit you get 30 seconds of rest before moving onto the next circuit. There were no complicated or difficult exercises in this workout. You will do some back bounces, high knees, heel digs, front kicks, jumping jacks, fast feet and more. I got a great cardio workout. Everything is done on the bellicon so no shoes are needed. Bellicon estimates you will burn 185 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 198 calories.
Endurance Heat is 29 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. Just like Cardio Fire (above) this workout has a warm up and a short stretch but no cool down. It is also an interval workout. It is made up of 5 circuits. Each circuit contains 2 exercises that are repeated. Each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest. Since you repeat the two exercises, each circuit is 4 minutes long. At the end of a circuit you get 30 seconds of rest before moving onto the next circuit. Just like Cardio Fire there are no complicated exercises. In fact, Endurance Heat uses many of the same exercises but Ida varies them within the interval. For instance, for high knee runs you will do high knee runs with knees to the front for 15 seconds, then knees open wide for 15 seconds then back to the front for 15 seconds. That type of thing. So she keeps it interesting. Everything is done on the rebounder so no shoes are needed. Bellicon estimates you will burn 185 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 219 calories.
Ingrida V. I cannot find any information on her. Bellicon only states she is “fitness passionate” and gives on other info on her. I goggled her but cannot find anything.
Stretch & Nourish is 12 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. This is not done on the rebounder. It is a nice stretching routine done on a fitness mat. It starts with gentle neck stretches then moves into seated spine stretches. Then you do a butterfly stretch. Next you do a quad stretch on the floor. This one can get a little intense but she gives you different level options to do it at. Next you do a sort of pretzel stretch that is similar to a pigeon but easier. the routine ends with a seated straight leg forward fold. I very much enjoyed this. It was a nice, feel good stretch to add on after one of the longer rebounding workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 39 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 61 calories.
Jenna Z. Jenna appears to be new to Bellicon. I had to find info about her by googling it since she is not yet included in the trainer section of Bellicon Home. She is a pilates instructor in Chicago and a health coach. I couldn’t really make sense of what she actually does from her website–other than the fact she does teach fitness classes.
Lower Body Work is 24 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This was a short but fun lower body workout. This workout has a warm up and a stretch at the end. There is nothing complicated about this workout and it is not advanced. Low intermediate level. After a lower body, non-bouncing warm up, the workout starts with some easy cardio bouncing. Then you do step ups onto the rebounder (stand on the floor, step up onto the rebounder, boucne 4x then step backward onto the floor). Then you do some lower body strength work with one leg on the rebounder and one on the floor: squats into knee lifts followed by side leg lifts. Then you do some more cardio: basic bounce, high knee runs, heel digs, front kicks and 2 bounces + jump out into squat. The workout ends with lower body mat work on the rebounder. Bellicon estimates you will burn 178 calories. I burned 118.
Cardio Flow is 26 minutes. It is a level 6 class. Cardio. I was disappointed in this workout. I really wanted to like it because I really like Jenna but I found the choreography confusing. Some of the moves were easy and fun and some of the combos were not only complex but her cuing was terrible and she messed the combos up multiple times. So it got very confusing. I did get a good cardio workout. It wasn’t intense. More of a steady state cardio workout. This workout has a warm up and a cool down/stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 160 calories. I burned 190 calories.
Recharge & Stretch is 29 minutes. It is a level 4 class. Flexibility & mobility. Another great workout from Jenna. There is bouncing in this workout but nothing complicated or intense. Jenna warms you up with health bouncing (feet never leave the mat) while doing various arm movements to warm up your entire body. Then you all kinds of flexibility, mobility and balance exercises on the rebounder. Then you do some more intense bouncing (feet leave the rebounder) but it isn’t super intense and it is short. The workout ends with some deeper stretching. This is definitely a feel good workout, perfect for a recovery day. Bellicon estimates you will burn 139 calories. I burned 90 calories.
HIIT Pilates is 33 minutes. It is a level 6 class. Strength (mostly core), flexibility, mobility. There is almost no bouncing in this class–which almost made me decide skip it. But then I previewed it and was intrigued. This is a strength/mobility/flexibility class all done on the rebounder. Though “HIIT” is in the title, it is not high intensity. It is interval training. And it is extremely varied. There are a lot of pilates core moves but Jenna varies everything and you are flowing between moves. Sometimes you are stretching during the interval, sometimes you are doing a tough pilates move during the interval. Sometimes the recoveries are recoveries (i.e. flexibility or mobility) and sometimes they are more focused strength/core work. This was a very creative, feel good workout. So much stretching/mobility, but strength, too. It is very hard to explain other than I thoroughly enjoyed it and my body felt so good while doing it. This workout includes a warm up and a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 203 calories. I burned 57 calories.
Pilates Meets Bounce is 35 minutes. It is a level 6 class. Core and cardio. I found this workout more tough than Jenna’s HIIT Pilates (above). You do get a gentle warm up, but then Jenna takes you down to the (rebounder) mat for some tough pilates core work that takes up about half of the workout. Pilates generally does incorporate some mobility/flexibility and this does, too, but overall it is just core work. Then Jenna has you bounce! I didn’t time it, but I think the cardio was about 10 minutes long. It wasn’t complicated cardio moves but it wasn’t easy either. Then she takes it down to the mat again for some gentler flexibility core work and a short stretch. I was working hard in this workout but I also enjoyed it. Though parts of the workout are “feel good,” this was not overall a feel good workout. You will be working! Bellicon estimates you will burn 211 calories. I burned 128 calories.
Full Body Toning is 42 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. I really enjoyed this workout! It is a circuit based workout—you alternate cardio circuits with toning circuits. The cardio circuit contains the same exercises every time you return to it but Jenna changes things a little bit every time. The cardio is nothing complicated either—basic bounce, double jacks, single jacks, high knee runs and sprints. But she adds various arm movements and tempo changes each time you return to it to keep things interesting. The toning circuits contain deadlifts, step ups (from the floor) into leg raises, plank variations, side lying leg raises, push ups and maybe a few other moves I am forgetting. This workout contains a warm up and a stretch. The toning circuits are all longer than the cardio circuits. Very enjoyable workout. I felt well worked but it was not super challenging or advanced. Bellicon estimates you will burn 303 calories. I burned 184 calories.
Jeremy S. Jeremy is one of my favorite Bellicon trainers. His bio says he was a tennis professional turned actor who is also a Bellicon fitness trainer. He has a very warm and encouraging personality.
Basic Bounce is 14 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This is a feel good workout. I would not put it at level 7. It is exactly what the title suggests, basic bounce moves. I used it as a feel good finisher after a strength workout and it worked perfectly for that. It gave me some light cardio and left me feeling really good. Jeremy does ease you into it but there is no cool down or stretch. But I am not sure this workout really needs either. You are not doing any intense bouncing, just feel good basic bounce moves. I thoroughly enjoyed this workout. It is perfect to use as a warm up to another more intense workout, or a cool down after a more intense workout. Or you can use it like I did, a feel good way to end a strength workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 70 calories. I burned 97 calories.
Flow & Bounce is 15 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Stretch, cardio and core. This did not seem like a level 7 workout. It was a low intensity, feel good workout. It starts with some yoga (cat/cow, bird dog variations and down dog). Next is some feel good bouncing. Then some core work laying on the rebounder. Some more feel good bouncing. Some squats and some stretching. Jeremy talks at the beginning of the workout and at the end, but the actual workout is music only no cuing, you have to follow along with Jeremy. Bellicon estimates you will burn 93 calories. I burned 67 calories.
Lymphatic Cleanse is 15 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. Again, this did not feel like a level 7 workout. Like all “lymphatic” workouts, this is not intense bouncing. It is a feel good, cardio bounce workout. No complicated moves. It is perfect to use as either a warm up or a cool down with another workout. In fact, I used it as a cool down after doing one of Stephanie P’s (below) intense workouts that do not include a cool down or stretch. This cooled me down nicely. Bellicon estimates you will burn 85 calories. I burned 116 calories. I think that has more to do with the fact I just finished Stephenie P’s intense workout so my heart rate was already elevated.
Bounce & Jog is 16 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. Level 7?!? I feel like they assigned the level just because it is Jeremy. This is not an advanced workout. It’s not even an intermediate workout. The oddest thing is there was barely any jogging in it! It was mostly bounce variations and some jogging but very little. No intensity blasts. This is a low key cardio bounce workout. It felt great and I really enjoyed it, but Bellicon misleads you not only with the title but the level. Bellicon estimates you will burn 70 calories, which is more in line with the level of this workout. I burned 112 calories but I have to note that I used this workout as a finisher. I had just finished an upper body strength workout before doing this so my heart rate was already elevated.
Cardio Crush is 18 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. This is an interval cardio workout. No difficult moves—several jog/run/sprint variations, some lateral ski hops, some tuck jumps. I don’t know what the interval times were but Jeremy keeps you running through them from beginning to end. The recoveries between intervals felt at least as long as the intervals themselves. You get a warm up but no cool down or stretch. This was a fast, fun and intense burst of cardio to combine with another workout–one that includes a cool down and stretch at the end. Bellicon estimates you will burn 257 calories. I burned 129 calories.
Cleansing for the Lymphatic System is 22 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. Like most of Bellicon’s lymphatic workouts, this is a very gentle cardio workout. In fact you remain in close chain bounce (health bounce–feet never leave the mat) for the entire workout. When the feet do move they are stepping out and in or front and back or doing low kicks to the front or side. Nothing terribly challenging. The arms are moving throughout most of the workout but mostly for mobility work. This is a feel good workout. I used it on my recovery day to warm myself up before doing yoga. In fact, I did one of Bellicon’s yoga workouts and this warmed me up nicely for it. Bellicon estimates you will burn 127 calories. I burned 138 calories.
Leg Burn + Bounce is 25 minutes; 1 minute intro. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a cardio + body weight strength workout. I really enjoyed this workout. It has a warm up and a cool down/stretch. It contains balance moves, cardio that is lower body focused and body weight lower body strength work. It estimates you will burn 160 calories but I only burned 104 calories.
Cardio Calorie Melt is 25 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. This is a short but intense HIIT workout. Each exercise is done for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of active recovery (gentle bouncing in the rebounder). Each exercise is repeated 3 times. You do sprints, jacks, fast/low wide leg hops, scissor runs and high knee runs. You get a longer recovery between each circuit (for example–do three 30/30 intervals of sprints then you get a longer recovery before moving on to three 30/30 intervals of jacks). I got a great intense cardio workout. It estimates you will burn 343 calories. Again–WTF???? I burned 173 calories. My FitBit shows I was in my peak heart rate zone a total of 3 minutes and the graph shows I was at the high end of my cardio zone. It also shows the spikes and valleys you would expect in an interval workout, so I was working hard. But I only burned half the calories they estimated.
Lite Cardio is 25 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Stretch. This workout is extremely light on the cardio. It is more of a flexibility/mobility workout with some brief light bouncing segments. Jeremy uses a stability bar for some of the moves but that is more for the audience than him actually needing it. There is some very easy crunches laying on the rebounder with stretching in between. This is a good workout for those days when you want to do something but don’t want to break a sweat. At least I didn’t break a sweat. It felt very easy and gentle but it did make me move and stretched me out somewhat. Bellicon estimates you will burn 120 calories. I burned 97 calories.
Fat Burning Core Series: Video #2 is 26 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Core + cardio. This workout is more core than cardio. It is the second workout in Jeremy’s Fat Burning Core Series. Video #1 is below because it is longer. This workout has a warm up and a cool down. I was a little disappointed in this workout. I really liked Video #1. Video #2 is structure similarly but with less cardio bursts than Video #1 contains. This workout also has 2 core circuits. The first circuit is made up of 3 core exercises. Before you start the core circuit you do a one minute interval of fast wide tuck jumps. Then you repeat circuit 1 three times. Then you do another minute of fast wide tuck jumps. The second core circuit also contains 3 exercises but one of them is mountain climbers, so you do get some cardio. You also repeat the second circuit 3 times. Then you cool down. Much less intense cardio-wise than Video #1, but some of the core exercises were more challenging. There was plank work in this workout (hands on rebounder, feet on floor). Bellicon estimates you will burn 372 calories, which just seems ridiculous. I burned 120 calories.
Box + Grind is 29 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This workout starts slow and builds. In addition, it is what you make of it. Jeremy is using 5 pound weighted balls to box with. 5 pounds. <!!!> That is not insignificant considering how fast the punching gets. He was drenched in sweat by the end of this workout. I had left rotator cuff surgery a few months ago so there is now way I was going to use 5 pounds. I used my one pound sandbag hand weights and that was sufficient for me! I got a great cardio workout with some upper body toning. As I said, it starts slow. You start with punch drills, practicing the basic punches–jabs, hooks and upper cuts. Then it turns into interval training. Fast punch intervals followed by fast lower body drills. The workout ends with fast punch combos. This workout has a warm up and a cool down/stretch. I really liked this workout a lot and I really like Jeremy. It estimates you will burn 207 calories. I burned 201 calories.
Arm Burn & Bounce is 31 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. Equipment: resistance loop and resistance band with handles. This workout alternates cardio circuits with upper body strength circuits. Use resistance bands that challenge you and you will get get an excellent upper body workout. The cardio circuits are pretty basic but at times get intense. There is no back work in this workout but Jeremy manages to work your biceps, triceps, chest and shoulders. Again, how well you work them depends on the strength of your resistance loop/bands but you can get a very nice upper body cardio + strength workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 270 calories. I burned 189 calories.
Stamina & Endurance is 32 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. It has a warm up and a stretch. This is a great cardio workout. It worked me very well. I do not think it has any complicated moves but it does have some more advanced moves. High knee skipping on your rebounder is harder than it looks but once you get your rhythm–it is awesome! Lots of great moves along with some HIIT intervals. I’ve actually returned to this workout several times. Bellicon estimates you will burn 455 calories. I burned 231 calories.
Shred & Burn is 33 minutes. It is level 9 workout. Cardio + strength. I expected a lot more from a level 9 workout. It’s a good workout, don’t get me wrong but level 9? No–this is not an advanced level workout. Intermediate maybe. This is a cardio + body weight strength interval workout. You alternate cardio intervals with strength work. The strength work focuses on lower body and core. It contains all of the basic cardio jump moves plus some moves where you are on the floor and the rebounder (mountain climbers and a jump knee switch). For strength: squats and lunges, crunches and planks. It was a good workout but not a great one. It estimates you will burn 472 calories <WTF?? I feel like this had to a typo!>. I burned 170 calories.
Fat Burning Core Series: Video #1 is 33 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + core. This is the first workout in a 3 part series. The other 3 workouts appear in other places under Jeremy’s videos because they are all different lengths. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. In this workout Jeremy alternates one minute cardio intensity blasts with core circuits. The first core circuit contains 3 core exercises plus high knee sprints for one minute. The second core circuit contains 2 core exercises plus you do fast jumping jacks for one minute. You do repeat circuit (with its associated cardio burst) three times. I was definitely feeling this workout! Bellicon estimates you will burn 288 calories. I burned 191 calories.
Fat Burning Core Series: Video #3 is 33 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + core. This workout has a warm up and a cool down. This is the 3rd and final workout in Jeremy’s Fat Burning Core Series. Video #1 (above) is still my favorite of the 3. This was very challenging but not as much fun as Video #1. This one is structured similarly to the other two but it has less cardio bursts than Video #1 and more then Video #2. Video #3 is made up of one circuit of 6 exercises. Each circuit starts with one minute of an intense cardio burst and is followed by 5 core exercises all done on the Bellicon (one is side plank hip dips, so your elbow is on the rebounder and your feet on the floor). You repeat this circuit 4 times. All of the exercises remain the same except the one minute cardio burst. For that you do high knee sprints, scissor runs, wide leg tuck jumps and the 4th cardio burst you repeat high knee sprints. I definitely felt this in my core–but I felt Video #1 and #2 in my core, too! They are all tough workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 472 calories (WTF?!?! I wish). I burned 171 calories.
Tennis Footwork Challenge is 34 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. I really wanted to like this workout. I really like Jeremy as a trainer and the idea sounded pretty cool but the actual workout was not fun. Jeremy is a tennis professional so he brought his love of the game to this workout. The concept is alternating tennis swings with HIIT cardio drills. Jeremy uses a tennis racket but he says if you don’t have one then use a 2 pound dumbbell to simulate the swings, so that is what I did. I am no athlete. I do not play tennis nor do I care to ever learn. So I felt pretty ham-handed doing the tennis swings with a light hand weight. I know I am not expected to look like a professional while doing it, but it just felt awkward. And all of the HIIT drills are fast feet variations. At the very end you do some long sprint intervals. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 129 calories (really?!?! this is more intense than some of his workouts with exorbitant calorie burn estimations!). I burned 210 calories.
Arm + Leg Cardio Burn is 41 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + strength. Another excellent cardio + strength workout from Jeremy. This will not give you a total body strength workout but if you combine with Remy’s 17 minute Back Strengthening workout (below), you will get a total body workout in under an hour. You get a warm up and a stretch with this workout. You also need some equipment. Bellicon balls or light hand weights, resistance tubing with handles and a resistance loop (booty band). You use the bellicon balls for the warm up. After the warm up, you do a long series of HIITs–short ones. I honestly didn’t time them, but it seemed like they were about 10 seconds long with about 10 seconds of recovery. You do sprints and jacks–using the bellicon balls to increase the intensity. Then you move into upper body strength work using the resistance tube. You also do these to intervals. Each interval is 45 seconds but every 15 seconds you change the move. You are standing on the resistance tube. You do fast bicep curls then fast overhead presses then fast bicep curls into overhead presses. You do several of of these 45 second intervals–I didn’t count them but it seemed like at least 4 or 5–maybe more. Then you put the resistance loop around your ankles and you do lower body interval work. Many of the strength exercises were also cardio moves. You do lots of different exercises so I am not going to break them down–but there is a lot more variety in the lower body work. The lower body exercises are all repeated at least once, some are repeated 3-4 times. You remove the loop and return to doing more HIITs, but this time the intervals are longer. The workout ends with core work. Bellicon estimates you will burn 586 calories. I burned 257 calories.
Swiss Jump Workout is 48 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + strength. This was definitely level 9! Very intense workout. I cannot find an explanation anywhere that explains what “Swiss jump” means and Jeremy doesn’t explain it. What I gathered from the workout is that it is intense jump training using the T bar. You hold that bar to keep your upper body stationary while pushing down hard and raising your knees when you jump. It is hard work! The majority of this workout, Jeremy has you do Swiss jumping variations. But you also do some interval work–timed sprints, some upper body strength work using the Bellicon balls (you can use dumbbells) and some core work. You get a warm up and a stretch. Excellent workout. It worked me very well! Bellicon estimates you will burn 672 calories. I burned 332 calories.
Upper Body Agility Challenge is 58 minutes. Cardio + strength. This is a level 8 workout. The first 3 minutes of this workout is Jeremy talking–first about the equipment you will need (resistance tube with handles and a resistance loop) then about proper form. This workout has a warm up and a long stretch at the end. It is a cardio + upper body strength workout–but it is primarily a strength workout. The cardio is the “agility” in the title. You do short HIIT intervals of fast feet variations (different foot work each time, done very fast). I didn’t time them but I would say they were tabatas (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest) and you generally did three 20/10 sets. The strength circuits were much longer. Sometimes you also just did some jumping jacks–I think those were mostly to dynamically stretch the arms. How hard you are working depends on the strength of your resistance bands. I am currently in the middle of a heavy strength rotation so I used a light and a medium resistance tube and a medium resistance loop. Had this been a strength day for me I would have use heavier bands. But I still felt the work–especially in my shoulders. He also has one circuit of “shoulder mobility” in which he does not use any resistance. He recommends using very light weights if you need more. I did need more so I used 2 pound weighted balls and they were perfect. As you can see, this is a long workout so your upper body is worked thoroughly and the agility HIITs keep your heart rate elevated. Jermey does hit every upper body muscle group except the back well but the shoulders are definitely hit the hardest. Bellicon estimates you will burn 522 calories. I burned 293 calories.
Jill S. Jill is a yoga and Bellicon instructor in Chicago. It appears she only does yoga workouts on the Bellicon for Bellicon Home.
Post Yoga Workout is 31 minutes (though she talks a bit at the beginning). It is a level 7 workout. I don’t know if I agree with the level 7, but I will note that doing some yoga poses on the rebounder is definitely more challenging than doing them on the floor. This is a gentle yoga practice. Jill starts you out slow then builds it up to standing poses (one foot is always on the rebounder), then brings you back down with more gentle relaxing poses. You will do some basic flowing flexibility exercises, but also crescent pose, Warrior 2, reverse warrior, right angle pose, tree pose, pigeon and many other basic yoga poses, all using the rebounder. The reason for the title is because Jill assumes you are coming to this workout after doing another, more intense Bellicon workout and this will cool you down and stretch you out. That is how I came to this workout. I did one of Sarah R’s HIIT workouts to warm myself up before finishing with this relaxing yoga routine. Bellicon estimates you will burn 170 calories (WTF?!? This is 30 minutes of relatively gentle yoga! Where do they come up with some of these numbers?). I burned 61 calories.
Julia vK Julia is a physiotherapist and athlete. English is not her first language. In one of her workouts she says she is from Germany. She is a great trainer who puts together excellent Bellicon workouts.
Daybreak flow is 7 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility/mobility/very light cardio. This is part of a series created by Julia for people who work at home or are lucky enough to have a rebounder at their workcenter. They are little mini-breaks done on the rebounder. I am a teleworker and plan to start adding these to my day occasionally, so hopefully more of these will be added soon. The first half of this is mobility and stretching. For the second half you do some very gentle bouncing (your feet never leave the rebounder mat) with the arm movements. No warm up or cool down/stretch is necessary since this is just to break up your work day and get in some nice, energizing movement. Bellicon estimates you will burn 27 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 49 calories
Just Stretch is 11 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. This workout is not done in the rebounder. All you need is a fitness mat. This workout is all deep stretching. Some of it is definitely feel good, and some of it depends on what you were doing before you came to this stretch session! I had just finished two of Barbara’s mobility/function strength workouts before doing this stretch (Hips, and Feet & Knees–reviewed above) so my legs were already fatigued when I came to this stretch, especially my quads. The workout starts with some side bend stretches then some forward folds. Next is a deep lunge, twisting your torso toward the front leg while raising arm and gaze to ceiling (this started burning my already very fatigued quads). Next is pyramid stretch. Next is wide leg forward fold variations. Keeping legs wide, shift side to side into side lunges while still hinged forward with hands on mat. Next you will do butterfly pose while hinging forward over legs. Then finish with seated spinal twists. This was primarily deep, feel good stretches. It would have been 100% feel good but my quads were so fatigued from what I did before this stretch that the twisting lunges felt more like work than a stretch! Bellicon estimates you will burn 39 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 55 calories.
Mobility Routine is 14 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility. This workout is done on the mat, no rebounder required. This is mostly a feel good flexibility routine. Only one pose gets a bit uncomfortable (for me at least) and it is the mobility exercise done in lunge position. This routine starts on the mat doing a long child’s pose series. Next you do some car/cow then your first down dog series. The first time you do the down dog series you hold it the longest and pedal the feet. You will return to down dog 3 more times in the course of the workout. Each time you return to it you hold it for a shorter period of time. Next is the lunge series. You start with kneeling lunge then you raise your back knee off the mat. This is the mobility part. You will bring one elbow (same side as front leg) down to your ankle then rotate torso, opening the chest and reaching that arm to the ceiling. You flow in and out of that move several times. Next is cobra. The workout ends back in child’s pose. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 56 calories.
Stretch it Out is 15 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility/yoga. This workout is done on the mat, no rebounder required. This is another feel good routine. From what Julia says, this was created in coordination with her Shadowboxer workouts (which Bellicon puts into a program for you to follow). It starts with a long (4 minute) forward fold series. Next is cat/cow followed by child’s pose then thread the needle. Then you have a long down dog series. Then you do deep kneeling lunge, shift your hips back into a calf/hamstring stretch then pigeon pose. You hold each pose for a a while–you are not flowing in and out of the poses like my break down sounds. Bellicon estimates you will burn 51 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 81 calories.
Stretch & Flow is 15 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. Flexibility/yoga. This workout is done all on a mat on the floor–no rebounder. Though there are some feel good moves, this is not a feel good yoga session. You hold the poses for a while and some of them become uncomfortable. But it is good for you! The workout starts with a long forward fold session (various forward fold variations), followed by child’s pose variations. Then you do some shoulder/chest stretch & mobility work in tabletop. Next is downward dog, which you hold for a while and pedal the feet. Next is kneeling lunge variations. The workout ends back in forward fold. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 62 calories.
Lumbar Spine is 16 minutes . It is a level 2 workout. TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. It is hard plastic. Here is Bellicon’s explanation of what it does: “Experience targeted massage that’s deep and long-lasting with the unique TMX Trigger. With the TMX Trigger, you can release tension and pain in specific muscles and fascia without the help of a therapist. When combined with the bellicon, it’s ideally suited to help increase mobility and improve overall well-being.” So I bought one. Here is the structure of the workout. It starts on the bellicon with mobility exercises focused on the lumbar spine. Then you do some bouncing, but nothing intense, to warm you up. Some of the bounce moves are also mobility moves for the spine. Then you step off the rebounder and lay down on your fitness mat with the TMX trigger. You place it under your body beside your lumbar spine and lay on back it (it is for the muscles not the bone so do not put it under your spine). Warning–it does not feel good, nor is it supposed to. You lay on it for one minute then you add movement; your knees are bent and you slowly shift them from side to side. You repeat this on the other side of your lumbar spine or, if you are suffering from problems on one side of the spine then just move it to another area on that side and you will repeat the minute of release followed by movement. For the last 5 minutes or so of the workout you get back on the rebounder for some more mobility bouncing followed by some stretching for the lumbar spine. This workout did not feel good while doing it (the TMX portion I mean), but my spine did feel good afterwards so it works! Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. I burned 64 calories.
Thoracic Spine is 16 minutes. It is a level 2 workout. TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. See Lumbar Spine workout above for more info on the TMX Trigger. In addition, this workout is structured exactly the same as Lumbar Spine above, except that you are place the TMX beside the thoracic spine. Julia recommends between your shoulder blades, which is where I put it. After laying back on it for one minute you add mobility, which is lifting the arm (same side as where the TMX is) to ceiling and then overhead then back to ceiling and back beside body (so an arcing movement with straight arm). You repeat this on the other side of your thoracic spine or, if you are suffering from problems on one side of the spine then just move it to another area on that side and you will repeat the minute of release followed by movement. For the last 5 minutes or so of the workout you get back on the rebounder for some more mobility bouncing followed by some stretching for the thoracic spine. This workout did not feel good while doing it (the TMX portion I mean), but my spine did feel good afterwards so it works! Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. I burned 66 calories.
Calf is 17 minutes. It is a level 2 workout.TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. See Lumbar Spine workout above for more info on the TMX Trigger. In addition, this workout is structured exactly the same as Lumbar Spine above, except that you place the TMX under your calf. You started with some bouncing moves to warm up your calves then you move to the fitness mat on the floor. Place the TMX under your calf. If the weight of your calf alone does not cause discomfort then cross your ankles with your other leg on top. You hold that for a minute then you add some mobility for another minute, flexing and pointing the toes of the TMX leg. Repeat on the other calf then get back on the rebounder for some more bouncing. It ends with a calf stretch. I’m not sure I can tell a difference in my calf muscles after doing it but I am not currently experiencing calf pain, nor is calf pain a problem for me. So for me it was more preventive. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. I burned 89 calories.
Foot is 17 minutes. It is a level 2 workout.TMX trigger release. This is a different kind of workout that requires a piece of equipment you can purchase from the Bellicon store: a TMX Trigger. It is a small knob with a an even smaller ball at the end. See Lumbar Spine workout above for more info on the TMX Trigger. In addition, this workout structured exactly the same as Lumbar Spine above, except that you are doing it on your foot. The workout begins with bouncing mobility moves to warm up your feet. Then you sit on the edge of your rebounder and place one foot on top of the TMX and leave it there for one minute. After a minute you begin raising the toes them lowering them. Repeat this on your other foot. Then you get back on the rebounder for more bouncing mobility moves then end with a nice deep stretch that is intended to stretch the bottom of the foot through the Achilles but will also stretch the calf and hamstring nicely. Again, this did not feel good while doing the TMX portion but it definitely loosened up my foot very nicely. Bellicon estimates you will burn 59 calories. I burned 63 calories.
Bootylicious is 24 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Strength. This is a bodyweight strength workout. There is not a lot of jumping. The beginning will get your heart rate elevated with standing exercises but then you do mat and barre workout (on/using the Bellicon of course) and your heart rate lowers. You won’t burn a lot of calories but you will work your lower body nicely. It has a warm up and a stretch. I really liked this workout. It estimates you will burn 147 calories. I burned 72 calories.
HIIT Power is 25 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. Awesome and intense cardio interval workout. Julia gives you a long warm up plus a cool down and stretch. As the title indicates it is made up of high intensity intervals: 45 seconds of work followed by 16 seconds of recovery. There are 12 of these 45/15 intervals. Julia separates them into blocks. You do four 45/15 intervals then you get 30 seconds of recovery, do 4 more and get another 30 seconds of recovery then do the final 4. There is no complicated footwork. You are doing basic cardio bounce steps like scissor runs, jumping jacks, high knee runs, front kicks, etc. The music is excellent, too. Julia has created another excellent cardio rebounder workout! Bellicon estimates you will burn 225 calories. I burned 169 calories.
Jump Fun is 27 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This really didn’t seem like a level 8 workout to me. It seemed more the same level as Julia’s Cardio Flow (below). It was another fun cardio workout. The first part was all cardio then it ends with entire song that is all body weight squatting. Then you get a long cool down/stretch. It did get a little intense with some kicking intervals but still, her other workouts seem more intense to me. It was still a fun workout, perfect for doubles (my second, shorter workout of the day) but not terribly intense. Bellicon estimates you will burn 234 calories. I burned 157 calories.
Shadowboxer Basics is 27 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio. This is an introductory workout if you bought the Shadowboxer. My husband bought it for me for Christmas 2022. This is the first workout I did with it. And I like it a lot! In this workout, Julia teachers you all of the basic punches using the shadowboxer while on your rebounder. Then she puts them together into short combos. Finally, she combines some short combos with some basic rebounding moves (jogs and basic bounces with power). Nothing difficult and it’s not supposed to be since you are learning how to use the shadowboxer. I am not sure why it is listed as a level 9, other than the fact that your upper body is getting some strength work. It was enjoyable and makes me look forward to using my shadowboxer in the other, more intense workouts Julia has created for it. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. During the cool down you get some body weight strength work. She has you hold a squat isometrically while doing some upper body toning exercises. You are not be wearing the shadowboxer for that. It is only worn during the actual workout (you put it on after the warm up and take it off before beginning the cool down). You are on your Bellicon for the entire workout, so no shoes necessary. Though I will mention that Julia recommends wearing shoes. I did not and had no issues. Bellicon estimates you will burn 250 calories. According to my Apple Watch, I burned 172 calories.
Cardio Blast Bellicon Jumping is 29 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. Another excellent and intense workout. This one is all cardio. It has a few HIITs in which you sprint but overall it is more steady state cardio. There is a warm up and a stretch. Julia builds then lowers the intensity of the workout pyramid style. No complicated rebounder moves. Just the basics. Bellicon estimates you will burn 353 calories. My FitBit says I burned 186 calories.
Cardio Fit is 30 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio w/ core. The first 2 minutes is Julia showing you how to adjust your T bar properly. This was a tough workout with some advanced bounces in it. It includes a nice warm up and stretch. Julia builds the cardio intensity slowly but once she hits it hard, she keeps it up there. The music was good in this workout–better than most Bellicon workouts. The cardio is done interval style with intensity intervals alternated with recovery intervals. The workout ends with an advanced core tabata circuit that had me groaning in pain at the end of every 20 second interval. It is done traditional tabata format: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. Bellicon estimates you will burn 270 calories. I only burned 175 calories. It does seem like I should have burned more.
Fat Burning Bellicon Jumping is 31 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This was an intense workout! It is all cardio and interval based. Julia takes her time warming you up but once you are in the meat of the workout she keeps the intensity high. You use the T bar for some high knee jumping. Julia alternates intense intervals with lower intensity recovery–but not low intensity. She still keeps your heart rate elevated. She doesn’t reveal the length of the HIITs through most of the workout and I did not watch the timer. However, the final 4 minutes of the workout she does structured HIITs–30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. Then she cools you down and gives you a nice stretch. This was an excellent and intense workout. It estimates you will burn 279 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 217 calories.
Fit ‘n’ Jump is 31 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This is a live workout that was posted on Bellicon Home Streaming for us. It isn’t any different than the workouts filmed specifically for streaming (rather than done live) except that you do not get your count down timer in the lower right hand side of the screen. Which I did miss, but I also really enjoyed this workout, so it was worth it. This workout has a warm up, a short cool down and a short stretch. Julia says this is an express workout, so I guess that is why. This entire workout is done on the rebounder so shoes are not required. You use the T bar if you have one for some “power” exercises. This just means you are jumping/pushing down harder into the rebounder and you hold into the bar for support. It is only for one song. In fact, that is Julia’s “surprise” about 2/3 of the way through the workout. A tabata circuit. A tabata is a type of HIIT protocol: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. Here are the exercises you will be doing for the tabata circuit: 1. squat pulses (no jumping–lower into squat on the rebounder and pulse glutes down lower), 2. wide leg bounce with arms resting on T-bar–push down hard and raise knees up high, 3. repeat #1, 4. with arms resting on T-bar, jack the legs, pushing down hard into the rebounder and raising the knees, 5. squat jumps, 6. repeat #2, 7. repeat #5, 8. repeat #4. The rest of the workout is more steady state cardio. Julia puts together combos of moves and each combo is set to a song. When the song is over, you move onto the next combo. You will do mostly basic moves such as jacks, lateral ski hops, bouncing side steps, heel digs, skater runs, high knee runs, front kick runs, wide leg kicking runs, hamstring curls, and more. She plays with tempos, too, to mix things up. This was a fun workout that gives you a burst of intensity with the tabata circuit. Bellicon estimates you will burn 300 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 221 calories.
Box FIT is 32 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. Julia talks for the first minute or so. This was a fun cardio boxing workout using some bellicon equipment called a Shadowboxer. My husband bought me the Shadowboxer for Christmas. The first time I did this workout was before Christmas so I used 3 pound handweights. My review with hand weights follows then I will add my thoughts using the Shadowboxer to the end. Using handweights: This workout has a warm up and a stretch. After the warm up you put on the Shadowboxer (or pick up your light dumbbells, or put on your weighted gloves–whatever you choose to use). The workout has 5 or 6 circuits. Each circuit contains 2-3 exercise combos. The exercises are all done interval style: 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. Between each circuit you get 30 seconds of rest. Each interval contains some sort of combo–either a boxing + bouncing combo or a strength combo. When you are actually punching you are not bouncing. So, for instance, you will do a punch combo followed by 8 scissor runs. The strength combos combine squats with some type of shoulder work (front raises, lateral raises, overhead press). Now, since I was using light handweights, I did not find this a strength workout for my arms. But maybe the Shadowboxer gives a lot of resistance and you get a strength workout, too. Bellicon’s website says the resistance is 4-10 pounds, so it was heavier than what I was using. The final circuit is a plank circuit. Then you take the Shadowboxer off (or set your hand weights aside) and do a cool down bounce followed by a stretch. It was a fun workout. Using the Shadowboxer: I felt like it was definitely more intense with the shadowboxer. I felt it more in my arms and shoulders. Like most resistance band workouts, the resistance is all in the stretch These are light bands, so the punching did give me some good resistance but the strength moves were what really worked my shoulders. Bellicon estimates you will burn 315 calories. According to my Apple Watch, I burned 219 calories.
Total Body HIIT is 32 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a tough HIIT workout. I’m not sure it is “total body” but it is a cardio + body weight strength HIIT workout. You do a circuit of 6 exercises. Each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest. After completing the circuit you get 60 seconds of recovery then you repeat the circuit. You get another 60 seconds of recovery then you repeat the circuit a 3rd time. The workout has a warm up and a cool down/stretch. Julia shows you 2 levels of every exercise. The first 2:30 minutes of this workout is Julia demonstrating both levels all of the exercises you will be doing. Here are the exercises in the order they appear: 1. 2 scissors + one squat, 2. high knee runs, 3. mountain climbers with hands on frame of Bellicon, 4. modified straight leg boat pose on Bellicon (leaning back on elbows) then start flutter kicking legs the last 30 seconds of the interval, 5. push ups on Bellicon, 6. scissor runs while opening and closing straight arms in front of you chest fly fashion. Bellicon estimates you will burn 443 calories. I only burned 183. Makes me feel like I was doing something wrong. But I was working hard and found this to be a tough workout!
Xpress Cardio is 33 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + lower body strength. This is primarily a cardio workout but Julia also gives us some lower body strength work. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. Everything is done on the rebounder so shoes are not needed. This workout was originally recorded as part of Bellicon Live (which I do not think exists anymore, which is why I assume they have moved some of the Live class recordings to Bellicon Home), so you have 40 seconds before the workout even starts (just music, a picture of Julia on a rebounder and a timer counting down the 40 seconds), and no timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen counting down your workout time. But otherwise, it isn’t any different from Julia’s other Bellicon Home workouts. She puts together some combos and each combo is set to a song. There are no complicated moves but it does get intense. You will also use the T bar if you have one for some of the “power” exercises. This just means you are jumping/pushing down harder into the rebounder and you hold into the bar for support. Julia shows you what to do with your arms if you do not have a T bar. The lower body toning consists of squat variations. One of those variations is a type of squat jump. By the end of the squat song my lower body was starting to burn! This was a great workout! I really felt like this workout deserved a higher level than a 6. Maybe a 7 or 8. Bellicon estimates you will burn 160 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 237 calories.
Relaxed Cardio is 33 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio + lower body strength. Though this workout is primarily easy, low intensity cardio, Julia includes a some body weight strength work for your lower body. Everything is done on the rebounder so no shoes required. This workout includes a warm up and a stretch. Though Julia doesn’t share the strength of her bungees, they were clearly a lower strength than mine. I could not bounce at her pace no matter how hard I tried. I use a combination of extra and ultra strong bungees. I suspect Julia was using strong bungees. I was still able to do an easier, more relaxed bounce. This workout did not have any complex or advanced moves. Julia puts together some combos and each combo is set to a song. Once the song is over, you move on to the next combo. In the middle of the workout she has you so some glute focused leg lifts. You will not be jumping for those but balancing on one leg on the rebounder (or, if you have a T bar like I do, holding onto the T bar for balance!). And at the very end before the stretch an entire song is dedicated to body weight squats–no bouncing. This was a nice, feel good rebounder workout. Perfect for a recovery day. Bellicon estimates you will burn 147 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 224 calories.
Tone & Box is 33 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout has a warm up, cool down and stretch. It also uses the Shadowboxer. Julia gives conflicting info about the level of this workout. She first says it is a beginner workout, which is why she is wearing socks instead of shoes. She then says it is an advanced workout but the moves are easy. In my opinion, it is one of the easier Shadowboxer workouts, so I guess it is beginner level for a Shadowboxer workout. This workout is made up of 4 circuits. Each circuit is 5 minutes long and contains 5 intervals (45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest).The circuits are all structured in the same basic way. The first 2 circuits you will do one strength move interval followed by and one boxing move interval then the 5th interval you alternate the strength move with the boxing move. The third circuit you do that too but instead of alternating them for the 5th interval you just repeat the strength interval. And for the fourth circuit you alternate 2 exercises the first 4 intervals then the final interval you do something different. You are wearing the Shadowboxer for everything except the warm up and stretch. First Circuit: 1. straight arm lateral raises, 2. front punches. Second Circuit: 1. overhead shoulder press (arms in goalpost when not pushing overhead), 2. one hook punch each arm, one upper cut each arm then hold squat. Third Circuit: 1. bent over read delt flys, 2: side punch + cross punch. Fourth Circuit: 1. Elbow plank hold, 2. stand beside rebounder with one foot on rebounder and one on floor and facing forward, squat and hold while doing 2 quick punches; 3. bent knee boat pose on rebounder w/ alternating straight arm front raises, lifting arms all the way over head. This was not a super intense workout but it does give you some minor strength work and some very low intensity cardio. Bellicon estimates you will burn 259 calories. I burned 196 calories.
Boxing HIIT is 33 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a tabata workout using the Shadowboxer. A tabata is a type of HIIT protocol: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. Julia pairs together two exercises and you repeat them each 4 times (do one exercise for a 20/10 interval, do the second exercise for a 20/10 interval then repeat those 2 exercises 3 more time for a 4 minute tabata circuit). I think there was 5 tabata circuits in this workout. It is not super intense but my shoulders did start burning from using the shadowboxer. The exercises are either cardio punching, upper body strength or core strength. There is no real lower body strength except some squats. This was a very enjoyable workout that challenged me strength-wise, even if the cardio wasn’t very intense. You get a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. It is all done on the rebounder so I wore bellicon socks. Julia does recommend wearing shoes for these shadowboxer workouts. Maybe that is because of the pivots you do when doing some of the punches. I do think the shoes would add stability and I might start wearing them to see. Bellicon estimates you will burn 665 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 229 calories.
Smooth Cardio is 33 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio. This is a great recovery day workout. Perfect for a day you want to get in some work, elevate your heart rate but nothing intense or difficult. Julia calls it “soft cardio.” I think that has more to do with her bungees. I use a combination of extra strong and ultra strong bungees. I could not do many of the moves as slowly as Julia, which leads me to think she was using strong or medium bungees. There are no complicated moves. You will do high knees, heel digs, hip shift hops, hamstring curls and many other basic moves. But again, she does not so them at a rapid pace and even when she does knee pulls, she doesn’t raise her knees as high as she normally would in an intense cardio workout. There is even a little bit of strength work. You will hold chair post twice and there is some core work at the very end. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. You are on the rebounder for everything so shoes are not needed. Bellicon estimates you burn 147 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 217 calories.
Cardio Flow is 33 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. This is one of Julia’s less intense workouts but I still burned a bunch of calories. She says this is a dance style workout. She builds two combos. Each combo has 4 moves. Then she combines the two 4 move combos together into a longer 8 move combo. Then you do two 30 second sprint intervals. Then you take it down with a cool down song then a stretch. This workout also has a warm up. Julia sets this workout to some good music. None of the moves are complicated. This was a fun workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 205 calories. I burned 254 calories. How weird is that? If you look at Julia’s other workouts that I’ve done, I’ve burned significantly less calories than Bellicon estimates I will and this is one of her easier workouts and I burned more. Weird.
Cardio & Tone is 34 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This was a feel good workout from Julia. It did not seem to be a level 7 workout to me. More like a level 5. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. The first half of the workout is cardio. The cardio is not intense and there are no complicated moves. The second half of the workout is strength. First you do a squat series (single leg squat variations then wide plie squats). Then you do plank core work with your hands on the bellicon and feet on the floor. The workout ends with lower body mat work on the bellicon–hydrants. I broke a mild sweat in the course of this workout. I enjoyed it though. Not intense but if felt good and I got a nice workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 244 calories. I burned 196 calories.
Cardio Joy is 34 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. This is part of a 4 part series Julia created. It is a lower key, more moderate workout than many of her other workouts. Julia introduces all of the basic cardio bounce moves she uses in her more intense workouts but she does not do them at an intense pace. And none of her fancier footwork. I really enjoyed it. It is feel good cardio. There is a few minutes of core work at the end but again, nothing challenging. This workout contains a warm up and a stretch. I used this workout to warm myself up before doing one of Bellicon Home’s yoga mobility workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 176 calories. I burned 184 calories.
Cardio Flow is 35 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. Uhm… yeah, Julia has two workouts with the exact same title. Confusing much? It’s also very similar to the 33 minute Cardio Flow. It is also a dance inspired workout that is lower intensity than many of her other workouts. She builds two combos. Each combo has 4 moves. Then she combines the two 4 move combos together into a longer 8 move combo. I found the choreography of this one a little more complicated than her other Cardio Flow workout but still doable. There were no sprint intervals in this one. At the end of the workout she does a squat circuit consisting of regular squats then pulsing squats then you hold the squat isometrically. The workout ends with a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 213 calories. I burned 229 calories.
Upper Body Heat is 36 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This workout uses the Shadowboxer. As the title indicates, this workout focuses on your upper body and it starts to burn! Especially at the beginning. This workout is made up of circuits. The first circuit is cardio without the Shadowboxer. Then you get 2 upper body strength circuits using the Shadowboxer. You remove the Shadowboxer and do another cardio circuit. Put the Shadowboxer back on for 2 more strength circuits. Take it off for a cardio circuit. Put it on for a short plank circuit then you get one final cardio circuit, again–no Shadowboxer, before the short cool down and stretch. None of the circuits are long but some of the strength circuits really start to burn out your shoulders. Especially the earliest circuits because you do isometric (or as Julia calls them “static”) holds. It’s a great workout and I really enjoyed it. I did not wear shoes for this one. Everything except the plank based moves are done on the rebounder and for the plank based moves your elbows/forearms are on the rebounder and your feet are on the floor. She does have you doing plank jacks so I probably should have worn my yoga shoes. I laid out a thick yoga mat beside my rebounder to protect my feet. Bellicon estimates you will burn 582 calories though at the end of the workout, Julia actually looked at her watch (so some kind of FitBit or Apple Watch) and said she crushed almost 350 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 225 calories. This is not a cardio intense workout. During the strength exercises you are not jumping at all.
Soul + Hip Hop Workout is 37 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + strength. Soul and Hip Hop is just referring to the type of music Julia uses for this workout. This is a cardio + strength workout. No equipment is needed. Julia alternates cardio circuits with strength tabatas. They are done traditional tabata format: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery, repeat this 20/10 interval 8 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. There are 3 tabata circuits–one lower body, one upper body and one core. Between each tabata is some lower intensity (but fun!) cardio. Overall, this was a good and fun workout. The tabatas were definitely the most challenging part of the workout. The cardio circuits were more of a long recovery that does elevate your heart rate but nothing crazy. Bellicon estimates you will burn 216 calories. I burned 188 calories.
Jump & Sweat is 37 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + lower body strength + core. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is primarily a cardio workout. Julia puts together some combos and each combo is set to a song. Once the song is done you move onto another combo. Near the end of the workout you have one lower body song and one core song. For the lower body song you are doing squat variations. Julia even gives you some squat jumps to really burn your glutes and legs out but mostly it is body weight squats. And the core song is a burner–boat pose variations. Everything is done on the rebounder so no shoes necessary. There are no complicated cardio moves but it does get intense–kicks, high knee runs, scissor runs, heel digs, skier hops and more. Bellicon estimates you will burn 315 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 282 calories.
Simple Cardio is 39 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio + balance work (but mostly cardio). This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. I don’t know that the title for this workout is accurate. True, you are not doing any complicated or advanced moves, but she frequently throws coordination challenges at you by combining arm and leg movements at different tempos. Then you have some balance work at the end which is not easy if you are balanced challenged like me. But cardio-intensity-wise, it is a very low intensity workout. I didn’t even break a sweat until more than halfway through and even then it was mild/light perspiration. But that makes this the perfect workout for a recovery day. Which is how I used it. Some light cardio then I moved onto a deeper stretching/flexibility workout. This warmed my body up nicely. In this workout, Julia combines several moves into a combo that you repeat several times. Each combo is set to a song. When the song is over, you throw the combo away and move onto a new one. The intensity of the workout does build to a peak then Julia takes you back down until you are at the balance work. But even the peak isn’s super intense. My apple watch gives me 5 heart rate zones with 5 being the highest/peak and 1 being the lowest. I spent the majority of the workout in Zone 2 and was only in Zone 3 for a total of 5 minutes–which was probably the most intense portion of the workout. So nothing crazy. You do basic bounce variations, some knee raises and hamstring curls, heel digs and jogging in place. She plays with tempos, too (single-single-double patterns, etc.). It is a nice, feel good low intensity workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 168 calories. I burned 268 calories.
Cookie Crusher is 40 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength/toning. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is a Christmas workout. Julia is wearing a little Christmas hat for the entire workout and there is a huge candy cane beside her. Some (not all) of the songs are Christmas themed, too. The theme of this workout is that Julia will help you burn off the Christmas cookies you’ve been indulging in. For this workout, Julia alternates cardio circuits with strength circuits. Each circuit is set to a song. In addition, the cardio circuits grow more intense as the workout progresses. After the warm up you will do a cardio circuit. The next circuit is squat variations. Next is another cardio circuit. Then you do a plank circuit. For the plank circuit your hands will be on the rebounder frame and your feet on the floor. Next is another cardio circuit then a push up/bear pose circuit. The push ups are done on your knees so you are completely on the rebounder for this circuit. Next is another cardio circuit followed by a cool down circuit. Then you have an abdominal circuit where you are lying on your back on the rebounder. It ends with a stretch. You are mostly on your rebounder for everything so shoes are not necessary. Julia is just wearing Bellicon socks. For the plank circuit I just made sure my yoga mat was on the floor to protect my feet. This was a fun workout. Not super intense, but Julia did work me well. By the end of the squat circuit my legs were burning. Same with the push up/bear pose circuit. That bear poses fries my quads! None of the cardio moves and none of the choreography is difficult or complex. Bellicon estimates you will burn 315 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 261 calories.
Box Power is 42 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout uses the Shadwoboxer. It has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This is a live workout that was posted on Bellicon Home Streaming for us. I am glad! We need more Shadowboxer workouts! It wasn’t any different than the workouts filmed specifically for streaming (rather than done live) except that you do not get your count down timer in the lower right hand side of the screen. Which I did miss, but if it gets us more Shadowboxer workouts I can live with out it. For this workout Julia alternates strength circuits with boxing circuits. Everything uses the Shadowboxer except for the warm up, the last cardio circuit and the stretch. All of the circuits that use the Shadowboxer are done interval style: 45 seconds of work followed 15 seconds of rest. The first circuit is boxing, the second circuit is upper body strength with some balance moves, the third circuit is boxing, the 4th circuit is core work (both laying on the rebounder and plank holds). The 5th circuit is the last cardio circuit–no intervals and no Shadowboxer. This was an enjoyable workout. The cardio aspect was not super intense but the upper body strength burned my shoulders and the core work was a burner, too. Bellicon estimates you will burn 231 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 270 calories.
Sweat Time is 42:30 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + lower body strength. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a very relaxing stretch. This was an extremely enjoyable workout. I am also so glad to see Julia doing longer workouts! This is a more moderate intensity workout. Nothing super intense but a lot of fun. Each circuit is set to a song. Within each song Julia puts together a few cardio moves and then you rotate through them in the course of the song. Two songs are body weight squat circuits. They are split up up tho–so you are not doing 2 songs of squats back to back. For the cardio you are doing a lot of basic bounce moves plus insole taps, hamstring curls, some sprint intervals, front kicks (both high and low), hopping hip twists and more. She also plays with tempo a lot both in the cardio and the squats. It is a lot of fun. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 292 calories.
Jump Conditioning is 43 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This was another very enjoyable workout. It is all steady state cardio. No HIITs or advanced or complex moves. But it did get my heart rate up and it was a lot of fun. She does some hard/high bouncing in this workout using the stability bar but if you don’t have a stability bar she gives you an alternative for your arm position. For this workout, each song has a combo of moves. Once the song is over, throw it away and you do all new moves in the next song. Lots of variety and very enjoyable. Bellicon estimates you will burn 378 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 301 calories.
Box ‘n’ Burn is 44 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. This workout uses the Shadowboxer. This is a live workout that was posted on Bellicon Home Streaming for us. It isn’t any different than the workouts filmed specifically for streaming (rather than the fact it was filmed live) except that you do not get your count down timer in the lower right hand side of the screen. This was a fun workout. Julia works your entire body in this workout, though your shoulders get the most work, but that is the nature of resistance bands. This workout contains four 8 minute circuits. All of the exercises are done interval style. The first 3 circuits are done in the same fashion and the last circuit is different. Circuits 1-3 are cardio + strength circuits and you wear the Shadowboxer the entire time. You alternate one strength exercise with one cardio boxing exercise. Each of the first 3 circuits contain 4 exercises. For the first 4 minutes you will do each exercise for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest. For the last 4 minutes you do the exercises tabata-style: 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, so you will run through the 4 exercises twice in 4 minutes. The final circuit is all core work, no cardio. All of the exercises in the final circuit are done for 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. The first 4 exercises are plank exercises done wearing the Shadowboxer (hands or forearms are on the rebounder and feet are on the floor) and the last 4 exercises are done without the Shadowboxer and sitting or laying on the rebounder. For the first 2 circuits all of the exercises are done on the rebounder, for the 3rd circuit, the strength exercise is lunges, so the front foot is on the rebounder and the back foot is on the floor. The boxing exercises are on the rebounder. For this reason you definitely need shoes for this workout, though Julia recommends them for all of the Shadowboxer workouts. Bellicon estimates you will burn 248 calories. My Apple Watch says I burned 298 calories.
Shadowboxer HIIT is 45 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + strength (but mostly strength). This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This workout uses the Shadowboxer. Before I get into the actual workout description I have some issues with the filming. The sound was terrible. It appeared Julia was filming this in her own home rather than at a bellicon studio. The music was louder than her voice at times and drowned her out. We also do not get the little count down timer in the left hand corner of the screen. I was expecting something more cardio intense from this workout. It did get intense but it was the burn in my shoulders from the strength work that was intense. This workout is done interval fashion. For the first 3 circuits you will do 2 exercises. The first for 60 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest and the second exercise for 30 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest. Repeat this circuit 3 times then you get 60 seconds of rest before moving on to the next circuit. For the 4th circuit the only change is that the first exercise is done for 30 seconds rather than 60 seconds. Most of the “cardio” was more strength focused than cardio focused. The first circuit is alternating front punches for 60 seconds followed by 30 seconds of wide squat with straight arm front raises. The second circuit is 60 seconds of straight arm side raises while tapping one foot out to side (after 30 seconds you change legs but arms continue to do lateral raises with arms) followed by 30 seconds of overhead shoulder presses. The third circuit is one minute of alternating upper cuts followed by 30 seconds of forearm plank hold (forearms on rebounder, feet on floor). The final circuit is 30 seconds of jumping jacks followed by 30 seconds of holding isometrically at bottom of a squat whole also extending arms straight out to sides in a T and holding that isometrically entire interval as well. You may need shoes for this workout (I did) so you can execute the punches with good form. Bellicon estimates you will burn 310 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 334 calories.
Be Happy Cardio is 47 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. Another extremely enjoyable workout by Julia. I am not sure exactly why it is titled “Be Happy” but it will make you happy! This is a long steady state cardio workout. Julia elevates your heart rate then keeps it elevated until the cool down. But she does not elevate it super high. I never felt gassed out or fatigued during this workout. There were no complex combinations or moves but Julia kept it interesting and fun. Like many of her workouts, each little combo is set to a song and when the song ends, throw it away and move onto something new. Everything is done on the bellicon, so no shoes necessary. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 321 calories.
Knock It Out is 47 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + Strength. This workout uses the Shadwoboxer. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. OMG. This is definitely what I expect from a level 10 workout. Julia burned my shoulders out big time! Of course, it was the use of the Shadowboxer that really caused the burn. This workout is set up in a ladder format. You do the first exercise for 30 seconds then get 30 seconds of rest. Then you do the first exercise plus a new exercise, each for 30 seconds (60 seconds of work) then you get a 30 second rest This continues on until you are doing 6 exercises back to back for 3 minutes. Then you reverse it and start subtracting exercises, going back down the ladder. All of the exercises are shadow boxer exercises that will burn out your shoulders and upper back. Oddly, the exercise that burned my shoulders the most was jumping jacks. Here are the exercises: 1. hinge forward, raise arms to sides at shoulder level with elbows bent (goal post), push arms forward then pull them back; 2. jumping jacks; 3. jack the legs while doing alternating front punches; 4. push one arm overhead 4x + 4 single knee raises, rotating torso and arms toward knee as it raises; 5. repeat #4 on other side of body; 6. stand with legs wide and arms straight at sides, squat while hinging forward and also raising straight arms overhead so that at bottom of squat arms are beside ears. After you go up and down the ladder, you will remove the shadow boxer and do some core work. This was a tough workout! I wore my shoes because the Shadowboxer workouts sometimes need shoes, but for this workout they weren’t necessary. Bellicon estimates you burn 831 calories! I burned 347 calories. And I wasn’t slacking! I was working hard! Where do they get these calorie burns from?!?!
Cardio Skills is 47 minutes. It is level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. The concept behind this workout is to raise your heart rate to a peak level (Julia says 70-85% of your peak heart rate), then you lower it back down. She also tells you in the beginning she has a surprise for you but she doesn’t share until the time comes for it which is about 27 minutes into the workout. It’s a HIIT song. 4 intervals, each interval is done for 30 seconds followed by 15 seconds of rest. The first interval is fast high knee run and the second interval is fast squat jacks (remaining in squat the entire time). Then you repeat those two moves. The next song is high energy, too, though not intervals. After that Julia starts bringing your heart rate down but not to recovery level. Then she starts telling you she has another surprise for you. That one is at the end when there is about 10 minutes left of the workout. It is more intervals but these are core focused. You are doing 30 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest again. The first move you are sitting on the rebounder with knees bent and legs raised, torso is leaned back; in this position you will bicycle the legs. Repeat this move for the second interval. For the 3rd interval you will hold elbow plank isometrically with forearms on the rebounder and feet on the floor. For the 4th and final interval you will do plank jacks–straight arm plank with hands on rebounder mat and feet on floor, jack feet in and out. Then you do a cool down that includes balance moves and a stretch. The rest of the cardio in this workout is done circuit fashion. Julia pairs together a few moves and sets the combo to a song. When the song is over you move onto a new circuit. The moves include kick variations, jack variations, jumping on one leg, scissor runs and more. I found this to be a great cardio workout. I never went into my peak heart rate zone though. I did not wear shoes for this workout though I would need them for plank jacks. However that is the only move I need them for so I substituted low impact plank jacks (stepping my feet in and out rather than jumping them) and I put my yoga mat on the floor to protect my feet. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 328 calories.
Complete Body Power is 48 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout uses the Shadowboxer. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. Unlike the above workout, Knock It Out, this did not feel like a level 10. It was a great workout though and I thoroughly enjoyed it. What makes this wokout less brutal is that it really is more total body focused. My shoulders were not fried by this workout like they were in Knock It Out. They did get some work but so did my back and my lower body. It was structured similar to Knock It Out. It is set up in a ladder format. You do the first exercise for 30 seconds then get 30 seconds of rest. Then you do the first exercise plus a new exercise, each for 30 seconds (60 seconds of work) then you get a 30 second rest This continues on until you are doing 7 exercises back to back for 3:30 minutes. Then you reverse it and start subtracting exercises, going back down the ladder. Here are the exercises: 1. 4 alternating front punches + jack the legs 4x; 2. 4 single knee pulls with hands in guard + 4 single knee pulls with single arm front punch (all of this is on same leg and same arm); 3. repeat #2 on other side of body; 4. 2 overhead punches each arm + squat hold for 4 counts; 5. 2 alternating cross punches + 2 alternating hook punches + 8 high knee runs; 6. hold wide plie squat while doing windmill arms (extend arms out to sides to overhead then back down out to sides and down to thighs); 7. bent over rear delt flies. I wore my shoes for this workout. It is all done on the bellicon but there are lots of pivots for the punches, which is why I wear shoes. Bellicon estimates you will burn 748 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 364 calories.
Cardio & Shine is 48 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio. This workout has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. I am not sure I agree that it is a level 8 workout but Bellicon’s “levels” are all over the place. This is a very enjoyable all cardio workout. Everything is done on the rebounder so no shoes necessary. Each song in this workout has its own bouncing routine. There are no difficult, advanced or complicated moves but each time the song changes, so does the routine. So that keeps it interesting. Sometimes Julia challenges your coordination but even that was doable for me. This was an intermediate steady state cardio workout. Julia starts you off easy the builds the intensity to a moderate level then takes you back down until you are at cool down level. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 343 calories.
Full Cardio & Strength is 49 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + Strength. This workout uses the Shadowboxer. It has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This workout is very similar to Knockout (below) but I did Knockout before I did this workout. This workout was a lot of fun, too, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually didn’t pay as much attention to how many intervals we did but I do think it is structured the same as Knockout (but with different exercises of course!): You alternate one approximately 3 minute cardio circuit with one 6 minute interval circuit that uses the Shadowboxer. For the Shadowboxer circuits you do 6 intervals that are 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. There are 5 Shadowboxer circuits. The first 3 are cardio + strength circuits (boxing, some cardio moves with the legs, some kicks, some squat holds). The 4th circuit is all upper body strength and the 5th circuit is shorter and it is plank holds. You will hold elbow plank (arms on the rebounder and feet on the floor) for 30 seconds 3 times; you get 15 seconds of rest between each plank hold. Remember, each Shadowboxer circuit is alternated with a cardio rebounding circuit that does not use the Shadowboxer. Except for the last 2 Shadowboxer circuits, they are done back to back. So you will be taking the Shadowboxer on and off. Also, except for the planks, everything is done on the rebounder. I am not sure shoes are necessary for this workout but I wore them anyway. I would not classify this as a level 10 workout, but I suppose that level also comes from the complexity of some of the combos Julia puts together during the first 3 Shadowboxer circuits. Bellicon estimates you will burn 748 calories!?!?! According to my Apple Watch I burned 339 calories.
Knockout is 50 minutes. It is a level 9 workout. Cardio + strength (but mostly cardio). This workout uses the Shadowboxer. It has a warm up, a cool down and a stretch. This workout was tons of fun! I loved it! It is set up in circuits. You alternate one approximately 3 minute cardio circuit with one 6 minute interval circuit that uses the Shadowboxer. For the Shadowboxer circuits you do 6 intervals that are 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. The Shadowboxer circuits vary–they are sometimes cardio boxing and sometimes strength and sometimes a mixture of both. You do need shoes for this workout since you will be on and off the rebounder and you also have the pivots during punches. There are 4 circuit combos. Remember, each Shadowboxer circuit is alternated with a cardio rebounding circuit without the Shadowboxer. So you will be taking the Shadowboxer on and off. The first and second Shadowboxer circuits are cardio boxing done completely on the the rebounder. The 3rd Shadowboxer circuit is boxing + lower body strength moves. For some of the moves you will have one foot on the rebounder and one on the floor. The final Shadowboxer circuit is core and upper body strength work. It has 2 plank moves so your forearms will be on the rebounder and your feet will be on the floor. All of the Shadowboxer moves, even the cardio, will give you some upper body strength work. Bellicon estimates you will burn 644 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 386 calories.
Kyle L. Not a lot of info about Kyle on Bellicon. She enjoys dance inspired workouts and is a trainer at Bellicon in Chicago.
Arms + Core Weight Loss Bounce is 29 minutes. It is a level 3 workout. Cardio + conditioning. This was definitely one of the easiest Bellicon workouts I’ve done. There are no complicated moves and Kyle even shows easier modifications for some of the moves. This workout builds slowly. It is made up of very low impact moves, some are just stepping moves, others are low bounces. She adds arm movements to everything and sometimes you even feel the burn in your shoulders from the arm movements. Any core work is standing work using your arms to activate you core. There are some hopping knee pulls where you bring your elbow to your opposite knee. Those are some of the more intense moves. I actually started to perspire a little near the end. Kyle also gives bouncing options for some of the non-bouncing moves. This is a feel good cardio rebounder workout with some upper body and core conditioning. There is even some squatting. This is perfect for a low key day where you want some exercise but nothing intense. Bellicon estimates you will burn 126 calories. I burned 198 calories.
Fierce Fit Countdown is 39 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. I really enjoyed this workout but Kyle’s count is off. She works one side of the body more than the other. And that has to do with the way some Bellicon instructors create their workouts–usually whatever combo/move/focus they are doing is set to a song and when the song ends, you move onto something new/different. She didn’t seem to be aware of when the song would end so one side of the body frequently got more work. But nonetheless, this was a great workout. Kyle says the “countdown” has to do with the fact she is introducing 10 combos or focuses and she counts you down through them. Most of them are kickboxing inspired combos–punches and kicks. But there are also squat jumps, fast feet/football runs, core work and tuck jumps. It was a very good and intense workout. It contains a warm up and a cool down/stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 289 calories. I burned 282 calories.
Lean Legs Barre + Bounce Workout is 42 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + strength. You use no equipment except your rebounder. Kyle has you warm up and cool down/stretch on the floor, but the actual workout is all done on (or using) the rebounder. You alternate cardio circuits with strength circuits. All of the cardio has a lot of arm work so even though you are not lifting any weights your arms will get some burn, too. Your first strength section is plie squat variations with one foot on the floor and one on the rebounder. That was the circuit that burned my legs the most. Then you do standing barre work on the rebounder while holding the T bar. Then you do some mat based lower body work on the rebounder. And finally you do some core work laying back on the rebounder. All of the strength work worked me very nicely. Between each of these strength circuits you have cardio circuits. Kyle brings her dance background to the cardio by putting together cardio combos that will challenge your brain as well as your heart rate. They weren’t super complex but they did take some concentration to do. Bellicon estimates you will burn 269 calories. I burned 241 calories.
Margaret U Margaret has a BA in dance and a BS in biology. She is also a certified pilates instructor. She is super cute and her perky personality brings a lot of brightness to her workouts.
Post Workout Stretch is 18 minutes. It is a level 1 workout. Stretch. This is a nice, deep and relaxing stretch. It is great to use after an intense rebounding workout–especially one that has little or no stretch, which is how I used it this morning. It stretched me out very nicely. There is zero bouncing in this workout and all of the stretching is done on the rebounder. You need a towel or yoga strap for this stretch. The only negative to this workout is there is no timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen like all of the other Bellicon Home workouts have. And I really like that timer. Bellicon estimates you will burn 43 calories. I burned 28 calories.
Cardio Drench is 29 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This workout contains a warm up and a stretch. This is an all cardio workout. No advanced moves, but Margaret does everything rapidly. I had a hard time keeping up with up with Margaret but I did my best–and I did work up a sweat! I wasn’t drenched but I was sweating. ***Update–I returned to this workout after getting extra strong bungees on my bellicon. The first time I did this workout I had the strong bungees that came with it. The change in bungee strength completely changed the workout. I was able to keep up with Margaret on all of the moves. I felt like I worked harder, too. According to my FitBit I burned more calories than I did when using the strong bungees, so apparently I was working harder!*** Bellicon estimates you will burn 207 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 216 calories.
Dance Party is 41 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This is a moderate, steady state cardio workout. Margaret gives you a long cardio warm up (about 10 minutes) before she introduces the “dance” combo. She teaches you 8 or 10 (can’t remember exactly how many) dancey hop steps. She teaches them in layers so the teaching and repeating of the combo takes up the majority of the workout. She gives a few short high knee sprinting breaks. At the very end, you step off the rebounder and do a balance arabesque series (one foot on rebounder then step up and raise other leg straight behind you). I used my T bar to assist my balance. Then you get a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 303 calories. I burned 301 calories.
Barre + Bounce is 49 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. This is a cardio + strength circuit workout. You need a resistance band with handles for this workout. I really enjoyed this workout. Not super intense, but still a good, fun and solid workout. Margaret is very cute and has a great trainer personality. She warms you up then alternates cardio bounce circuits with strength circuits. There are no complicated cardio moves but they will all get your heart rate elevated. You need the T bar on your rebounder to do the workout like Margaret. Other options are turning your rebounder on its side and holding onto the frame or just using a chair on the floor. There are 2 lower body barre circuits and one bicep/tricep circuit using the resistance band looped around one of the rebounder legs. The final strength circuit is core work. You some plank variations with hands on the rebounder and some core work laying on your back on the rebounder. The workout ends with a very short stretch focused on the upper body and core. So you will need to stretch out your lower body on your own. Bellicon estimates you will burn 270 calories. I don’t know how many calories I burned because my FitBit did not record this workout for some reason.
Cardio Bounce is 54 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio + strength. This was another fun and effective workout from Margaret. She does this on a beach with the ocean or sea behind her (I am not sure where she is but it is a city beach so there is also skyscraper skyline behind her). In this workout Margaret alternates cardio circuits with strength circuits. You do need some additional equipment–the weighted Bellicon balls or light handweights. I have 2 pound weighted balls and I used those. None of the cardio bounces are complicated but she does keep it varied–jack variations, knee raise/kick hops, side to side hops, high knee runs, etc. You also get a warm up and a stretch. You start with a cardio circuit then you get down on your Bellicon mat for leg exercises using one of the weighted balls behind your knee for resistance. Then you do another cardio circuit followed by upper body work using the Bellicon balls. Next is another cardio circuit and the workout ends with core work. This is a really nice total body conditioning + cardio workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 292 calories. I burned 338 calories.
Remy D Remy lives in the Netherlands and used to own his own health club. Now he is a Bellicon CEO and is one of the people responsible for Bellicon’s “holistic concepts.”
Full Body Cardio Workout is 10 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. This is an excellent and fun little cardio workout. It is made up of 4 moves: lateral ski hops, single leg front kicks, tuck jumps and hop twists. However, before you even get to them Remy warms you up. You run through the 4 exercise circuit several times then he gives you a brief cool down consisting of hops with alternating front punches. Lots of fun and it will get your heart rate elevated. Bellicon estimates you will burn 64 calories. I burned 79 calories.
Lymphatic Cleanse Workout is 12 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Cardio. This is the second lymphatic workout I have done and, like the first, it is a gentler workout than the others. You are doing many of the same cardio bounce moves that are done in other workouts, but the intensity factor is gone. You are not focusing on pressing your feet into the canvas. You are just bouncing and feeling good. These short workouts are perfect to use as either a warm up before a more intense rebounder workout or as a cool down after finishing one. Bellicon estimates you will burn 58 calories. I used this to finish off another Bellicon workout (Athletic Drills) and between the two I burned 405 calories.
Fat Burning Workout is 12 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. This is a short cardio interval workout. There is nothing advanced in this workout and Remy even warms you up though there is no cool down or stretch. He does the exercises tabata style (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery), though he did not do true tabata circuits (eight 20/10 intervals equals one tabata circuit). This also was not a HIIT workout–as in, the intervals were not high intensity. Nevertheless, it was a great little cardio add on and it got my heart rate elevated. I used it as a warm up before a longer rebounder cardio workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 102 calories. I burned 90 calories.
Building Upper Body Strength is 12 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Strength and cardio. This workout is very similar to Remy’s Back Strengthening (below), in fact, you even do one of the exercises that is used in that workout. You get a warm up and a short cool down (no stretch). You are also using Bellicon balls or light hand weights. Each exercise is done to a fast pace, so heavy weights cannot be used. While doing the exercises you press down with your feet so you are also bouncing, adding momentum to the moves. Remy manages to hit every upper body muscle group and in a short amount of time. I used this as a warm up before a focused upper body strength workout. It was perfect! Bellicon estimates you will burn 66 calories. I burned 84 calories.
HIIT Circuit is 14 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio. This is a short and intense cardio HIIT workout. You get a short warm up and a longer cool down/stretch. It is set up in 2 circuits. There are no repeats of exercises. Each exercise is done for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of recovery. There are no complicated moves, but they can get intense. Each circuit has 4 or 5 exercises (I can’t remember exactly how many). After you finish one circuit you get a longer recovery before the next circuit. A fun and intense little cardio burst. Bellicon estimates you will burn 111 calories. I burned 95 calories.
Back Strengthening is 17 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Strength. This is another one of Remy’s interesting and effective strength workouts. As the title indicates, this workout is entirely focused on the back. The only jumping in this workout is during the warm up and Remy gives you a good warm up. There is also a stretch at the end. You need the bellicon balls or light dumbbells for this workout. All of the strength moves are done very quickly for 30 second intervals and, like in some of Remy’s other workouts I’ve done, you press down with your feet during the exercises so you are also bouncing–but a your feet do not leave the rebounder canvas. It adds momentum to the moves while also making it impossible to use a heavy weight–that and how fast you are doing the move. You do 4 different exercises, each for 30 seconds with a short break between each and you repeat this 4 exercise circuit 4 or 5 times–I lost count. Here are the exercises: 1. hold the bellicon balls/weights, hinge forward with knees bent, arms straight at sides, pulse straight arms up behind you while pushing down into the rebounder, 2. back rows–hinge forward at waist, knees bent and row bellicon balls/weights fast while pushing down into the rebounder with feet, 3. hinge forward at waist, knees bent, arms are straight and raised behind you like in #1, but this time you keep them at the high end of the move and pulse the bellicon balls/weights toward each other at the small of your back while pushing down into the rebounder with your feet, 4. set bellicon balls/weights aside, lay on your back on rebounder with legs raised and knees bent, arms are at side with triceps/elbows on the mat and hands raised to ceiling, push down into the mat with your elbows/triceps/shoulders and back. For #4, Remy is apparently so strong that his pressing actually has him bouncing on his bellicon (either that or he has softer bungees than I have) but I did not bounce like that. I did feel it in my back and sometimes I would feel a slight up and down movement but I could never achieve the bounce for #4 that Remy did. Still I felt it in the muscles it was targeting. Bellicon estimates you will burn 126 calories. I burned 92 calories.
Glute + Leg Strengthening is 23 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Strength. This is a tough and excellent lower body workout. I used this workout as a finisher after a heavy weight lower body strength workout so my lower body was already fatigued. This workout definitely finished my lower body off. It contains a warm up and a stretch. I wasn’t too crazy about the stretch so when I do this workout again in the future I will do my own thing while Remy is stretching. The actual workout is made up of a circuit of 4 exercises. You repeat the circuit 4 times. You get a short recovery between each circuit. Then Remy has a finisher before the stretch. The exercises in the circuit are: 1. 16 squat jumps, 2. single leg squats into a side leg lift, 8 reps each side, 3. squat hops in a wide to narrow pattern (you remain in squat isometrically the entire time while doing little hops while your feet move in a pattern of wide to narrow, each pattern is about 6-8 hops and you repeat the pattern 4 times then change direction and do it another 4x), 4. stationary lunges, 8 reps each leg. For the finisher, you get on your hands and knees on the rebounder–hands on frame and knees on rebounder canvas–extend one leg out straight behind you, raise and lower that straight leg–but not like traditional mat work, do it with short squick force while pushing down into the rebounder canvas with the other knee so you are doing it with power and bouncing (but your knee never actually leaves the canvas). Bellicon estimates you will burn 198 calories. I burned 172 calories.
Cardio Freestyle Mix is 48 minutes. Cardio + strength. It is a level 7 workout. This is a very interesting workout that really creeps up on you. It doesn’t seem too hard at first then the next thing I know I am sweating and my muscles are burning. Remy works your entire body and the actual “freestyle” cardio is very short and not until the very end of the workout. You need equipment for this workout. The Bellicon balls or light hand weights and a resistance tube with handles. I used 2 pound weighted balls and a light resistance tube. This workout starts with balance work. Then you move into the strength work which makes up the bulk of the workout. Remy starts with your upper body and hits every muscle group, then moves to your lower body and ends with core. The first few exercises are only body weight and Bellicon but then when he works a muscle group, he works it using both the Bellicon balls and the resistance tube (not at the same time; example–when working the triceps you do an exercise first with the resistance tube then you do an exercise using the Bellicon balls). But here is what makes this workout different and unique. Most of the exercises are regular exercises but Remy has you do small partial reps at the high end of the move so there is always tension on the muscle, plus–he adds small bounces on the rebounder. This really burns your muscles out quicker than you would expect and also makes using heavy weights/bands impossible unless you are very strong. After all of the strength work Remy does two short “freestyle” cardio intervals. He gives you examples of several different cardio bounce moves you can do then he does his thing and you do yours. The work ends with mobility/flexibility exercises. Bellicon estimates you will burn 363 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 245 calories.
Sarah R Sarah is a certified pilates and Bellicon instructor. She also runs triathlons and studies ballet.
HIIT Summer Stronger is 14 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Strength. This is an all strength workout. No bouncing. The HIIT aspect only means it is an interval based workout. Each exercise is done for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of recovery. I would not call it “high intensity” though. But it is a solid little strength add on. It has no warm up and ends with a 20 second stretch. Here are the strength moves in this workout: lunges with front foot on rebounder, plie/sumo squats with one foot on the rebounder, tricep dips with hands on rebounder frame, straight arm plank to elbow plank with hands/elbows on rebounder and feet on floor, straight arm side plank hip dips with hand on rebounder and feet on floor, straight arm plank hold with hands rebounder and feet on floor while bounce-pushing hands into rebounder, and the final exercise is a forearm plank hold on rebounder while using your feet to push your body forward and back. Bellicon estimates you will burn 108 calories. I burned 49 calories.
Booty Barre Workout is 15 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Strength. This is an all lower body strength workout done on the Bellicon and using T bar for stability. Very little bouncing is done. A health bounce is done between exercises to thaw your muscles out. Oh, you also do some small bounces while holding an isometric squat–that burns! The rest is barre based lower body exercises. Sarah gives a warm up and a stretch. This is a great little add on/finisher workout! Bellicon estimates you will burn 102 calories. I burned 63 calories.
Cardio Speed Drills is 20 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. This workout doesn’t have a warm up or stretch. It does have a very short cool down. You don’t really need a warm up but a longer cool down and a stretch would be nice–so take care of it yourself. The actual speed drills are not until the end of this workout. The workout is set up interval fashion. You do a bouncing exercise for 1:30 minutes then you get 30 seconds of recovery. This is how the entire workout is set up until the last 3 minutes. During those 1:30 minute intervals you are doing the same basic exercise but Sarah makes little changes–going from single to double bounces, increasing speed or changing the arm movement. There are no complicated bounce moves but she keeps it interesting. The final 3 minutes are the actual speed drills. You are doing sprints–first for 20 seconds then for 30 seconds then for 45 seconds. After each sprint you get a short recovery. Then the last 30 or so seconds is a cool down. Bellicon estimates you will burn 110 calories. I burned 161 calories.
HIIT Sweat it Out for Summer is 22 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout does not have a dedicated warm up but the first move could double as one. It does have a stretch at the end. I did not think I was going to like this workout because the second move was basically box jumps on and off the rebounder. I find moves such as that so frustrating. One of the reasons people use rebounders for is because rebounding is a low impact (but high intensity when done properly) exercise. Jumping on and off the floor, regardless of what you are landing on, is not low impact. However, that was the only such move in this workout and I hung with it rather than shutting the video off. I don’t mind box jumps–on a box. I do not like doing them on and off the rebounder, plus, when I do a rebounder workout, I expect all of my jumping to be on the rebounder. Anyway! This was a good workout, not counting that one move. Sarah alternates strength moves with cardio moves. It isn’t total body but your lower body gets worked, your triceps get worked and your core and shoulders get worked with plank based moves. Bellicon estimates you will burn 170 calories. I burned 142 calories.
Barre + Bounce is 22 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio + strength. Equipment: pilates or playground ball. You only use the ball at the very beginning of the workout. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. This a low intermediate level workout. It is exactly what the title indicates. You do lower body barre exercises on the rebounder (so you need a T bar) and some short cardio circuits. In addition, during some of the barre work, Sarah adds small bounces to the move, which really hits the muscles deeper. But I didn’t feel any major burn out except when you are doing plie variations and are raised up on your toes for a long period of time. But those types of exercises always burn my calves/feet out. Bellicon estimates you will burn 121 calories. I burned 133 calories.
Jacks-ercise is 26 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Cardio. I love jumping jacks on the rebounder so I was excited about this one. But in truth, it was ho-hum. I wasn’t crazy about Sarah R either. It has a warm up and a stretch. It says you will burn 125 calories. I burned 205 calories.
HIIT the Slopes is 32 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + strength. Like Athletic Drills (below) this is interval/drill based but there is a lot more variation. You do a circuit of 9 exercises and each exercise is done for 40 seconds with 20 seconds of recovery. You repeat this circuit 3 times. Every time you repeat it something changes about the exercises so I am not going to list them like I did in Athletic Drills. You do need some equipment for this workout–the weighted Bellicon balls. I used a set of 4 pound balls. This is a cardio + strength workout. This workout includes lots of squat variations, curtsy lunges, upper body and standing core work using the Bellicon balls and cardio bouncing drills. A very good and intense workout. Bellicon estimates you will burn 237 calories. I burned 224 calories.
Sarah’s HIIT Session is 41 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. This is a cardio + strength workout done interval style. Each exercise is done for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of recovery. Some of the intervals are more intense than others. Each HIIT circuit is 8 minutes long and you alternate between 2 exercises. The first time you do each exercise you do the easiest version then each time you repeat them the intensity/level increases until for some of the exercises they are actual HIITs. Here are the pairings: Circuit 1: jumping jacks and squats; Circuit 2: butt kickers and push ups; Circuit 3: high knee runs and lunges; Circuit 4: insole taps and burpees. The workout ends with about 3 minutes of core work. The first 2 exercises serve as a warm up even though they are part of circuit 1 and there is a 3 minute stretch at the end. Remember, though those exercise I listed for each circuit might sound simple/easy, each is done 4 times and every time you do the exercise it changes/advances. Bellicon estimates you will burn 369 calories. I burned 282 calories.
Athletic Drills is 45 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. Just like the title says–this workout is interval/drill based. You do 10 different exercises. Each exercise is done for 40 seconds with 20 seconds of recovery. You repeat this 10 exercise circuit 4 times. You also get a warm up and a stretch. Sarah has another exerciser with her, Luca, who shows easier versions of some of the moves. The drills are basic squats, jacks + squats, wide run, wide run + squats, plank walks, push ups, plank jacks, scissor runs, high knee run, sumo squat jacks–but not in that order. I’m writing the exercises from memory–I cannot remember their exact order. When you repeat the circuit Sarah varies some of the exercises but they are still the same basic exercise. For instance during the final circuit Sarah has you hold your arms overhead the entire time you are squatting. Little things like that. This was a good workout and like Jacks-ercise, I really expected to enjoy it more than I did. Unfortunately Sarah is not the most charismatic trainer so the workout was a little boring. Bellicon estimates you will burn 405 calories. I did this as my morning workout so I followed it with another 12 minute Bellicon workout. Remy D’s Lymphatic Cleanse workout, which isn’t a huge calorie burner. Between the two workouts I burned 405 calories.
Steffi U. Bellicon doesn’t provide much info about Steffi except she is a mom and is health focused.
Wake Up & Glow is 13 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio & mobility. This is the part of Steffi’s Body Glow series, which is a bunch of rebounder workouts that are each approximately 15 minutes long. You can choose your focus then stack several together into your own workout. This is the warm up. So nothing intense. Just some basic bouncing; your feet don’t even leave the mat, and some mobility moves to get you warmed up. If you stack the 3 workouts in the series I have already reviewed here, you would get a 43 minute workout with a long, thorough warm up (this one), some cardio (Cardio Body Glow) and a long stretch (Stretch & Nourish). The series also has some strength and core workouts you could add but I doubt I will be trying those. I actually used this workout to warm myself up before doing another workout that is not part of this series. Bellicon estimates you will burn 55 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 81 calories.
Stretch & Nourish is 14 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Flexibility. This workout is part of Steffi’s Body Glow series, which is a bunch of rebounder workouts that are each approximately 15 minutes long. You can choose your focus then stack several together into your own workout. This is meant to be a cool down and stretch. The idea is, you are doing other workouts in the series before this one and end with this workout. Because of that, you start doing a low, cool down bounce on the rebounder. All of the stretches are done on the rebounder. It is a very nice, feel good stretching session. I am not sure where they get that it is a level 5 workout because none of the stretches are advanced or difficult to perform. All basic, feel good stretches and I love that they are all done on the rebounder. Bellicon estimates that you will burn 55 calories. According to my Apple Watch, I burned 88 calories.
Cardio Body Glow is 16 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. This workout does not have a warm up or a cool down/stretch. That is because this is part of Steffi’s Body Glow series, which is a bunch of rebounder workouts that are approximately 15 minutes. You can stack them together into your own workout. This was a really nice moderate cardio workout. I used it as a warm up before doing another, more intense rebounder workout. It felt good and it was fun. No complicated or difficult moves. Bellicon estimates you will burn 96 calories. According to my Apple Watch I burned 117 calories.
Stephanie P Stephanie is a certified pilates, barre and Bellicon instructor. She brings her barre and pilates experience to Bellicon for some very tough but effective workouts.
Quick Leg Toning Workout is 14 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Strength. This is a fabulous total burn out finisher to add on to the end of any lower body workout. There is no warm up. The workout begins with Stephanie throwing you right into mat based lower body work (on the rebounder) that burned my legs and glutes out quickly. It ends with bridge glute work on the floor with your feet on the Bellicon frame. You get a stretch at the end of the workout. There is zero bouncing but a lot of lower body burn! Bellicon estimates you will burn 126 calories. According to my FitBit I only burned 20 calories.
Lymphatic Cleanse & Detox is 28 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. Another lymphatic workout I wanted to try. I thought it would be interesting to see how Stephanie approaches it since she seems to do more advanced workouts. And it was gentler and easier than her other two workouts that I’ve done. But it was also more active than the lymphatic workouts I did by Remy (above) and Tiziana (below). Stephanie has you bouncing through the majority of this workout. No complicated foot work and no intensity bouncing, just basic bounces. She also tells you how certain moves that she has you do are good for detoxing. The workout ends with some core work laying on your rebounder. Overall, I found this a feel good workout. It has a warm up and a short stretch. It estimates you will burn 154 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 160 calories.
Bounce Burn is 29 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio. I did Stephanie’s workouts out of order. I did Bounce Burn Amplified (below) first. That is a level 10 workout. This is a level 6 workout. It was definitely an easier workout than Amplified. This is a cardio workout in which Stephanie has you bouncing but using different ballet/barre foot positions. Then you use one weighted Bellicon ball or a light dumbbell to do some strength work for the lower body and arms. Not a lot and nothing major. The majority of the workout is cardio bouncing. Again, no complicated or difficult moves. Just a good cardio workout with a little bit of toning. There is no warm up or stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 192 calories. I burned 209 calories.
Bounce Burn Amplified is 32 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio. This was an intense all cardio workout. Though it is made up of primarily basic jumps, Stephanie introduces a few more advanced moves. Plus there is lots of kicking. My legs are feeling a bit achy a few hours later. It wasn’t fun but that had more to do with the fact the music was uninspiring and Stephanie wasn’t a motivating trainer. But it’s a very good and intense cardio workout. I’ve done it twice now. It estimates you will burn 608 calories which seems outrageous for a 32 minute workout. I burned 268 calories which, for me, is a high burn for a 32 minute workout.
Torch & Tone is 33 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. This is an excellent workout! I really enjoyed it and got an excellent workout. The majority of the workout is some pretty intense cardio bouncing. There is a short lower body toning segment near the end then the last 5 or so minutes is more cardio but at a lower intensity. There is no cool down/stretch but Stephanie does warm you up. The toning is lower body mat work so if you have a hard floor, you also need a mat to protect your knees (your arms will be on the Bellicon and knees on the floor). Bellicon estimates you will burn 458 calories. I burned 237 calories.
Amping it Up! is 39 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + strength. This was an excellent and tough workout. I wouldn’t rate the actual bouncing moves as level 10 but as a whole, it is a more advanced workout. This is a cardio + strength circuit workout. There is no real warm up and no cool down/stretch. Stephanie has you do 8 minutes of cardio bouncing then you do push ups and side plank hip dips (all using the rebounder). Then you do 8 more minutes of cardio bouncing then you do mat work on the Bellicon to completely burn out your glutes. The workout ends with 8 more minutes of cardio bouncing. Bellicon estimates you will burn 741 calories which is just insane. Where do they get some of these numbers?!?!? I burned 257 calories.
Ramping it Up! is 39 minutes. It is a level 7 workout. Cardio + Strength. Another excellent and effective workout but not as tough as many of Stephanie’s other workouts. It is structured similar to Amping it Up! (above). You get a short warm up and no stretch. Maybe a very short cool down. You do long cardio circuits alternated with strength circuits that use the rebounder. There are no complicated bounces but there are some kick drills. The first strength circuit is lunges and push ups, and the second strength circuit is hip/glute bridges and core work. Bellicon estimates you will burn 296 calories. I burned 256 calories.
Ballet Burn is 51 minutes. It is a level 10 workout. Cardio + strength. Another tough and excellent workout by Stephanie. Maybe I am just getting used to her workouts but I would not rate this is a level 10. Stephanie did work me well though and it is an advanced workout. Stephanie alternates cardio circuits with barre strength circuits. The cardio bouncing can get intense but it is not complicated. The first strength circuit is arms and Stephanie burned my shoulders out. The next 3 strength circuits are standing barre leg work. The final circuit is plank work. Remember, there is a cardio circuit between each strength circuit. This workout has a warm up and a stretch. Since this is barre workout, you need a T bar for the lower body strength work. Bellicon estimates you will burn 969 calories. <WTF?!?> I burned 336 calories.
Cardio Ballet Sculpt is 57 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout includes a warm up and a stretch. You need some equipment for this workout. A pilates or playground ball (Stephanie says you can also use a folded up bath towel) and a weight. She is also using a weighted ball the Bellicon sells. The ones on their site are only 1 and 2 pounds and, judging by the color, it appears she is using the one pound ball. But Jeremy has used 5 pound balls in his workouts that look similar so maybe that is what she is using. But the 5 pound balls are not available for purchase on their website. Regardless, in order to get any benefit from the strength work you will need something heavier than one pound. You are not jumping when using the weight so use a dumbbell. It is primarily for tricep work so choose according to the muscle group. I did this workout primarily due to the length. Bellicon does not have a lot of long workouts. If I want to do a Bellicon workout in the morning I generally have to combine two or add something else on to the end to equal my hour. But this one is the perfect length. Just like in Stephanie’s other workout I’ve done (so far) Bounce Burn Amplified (above), the music is uninspiring and she is not a very motivating trainer. But it is a solid workout. Stephanie alternates rebounder cardio with barre work and she does it in circuits so your heart rate spikes then lowers for the barre work. She worked my legs well. You need your T bar for the barre work. If you don’t have a T barre, just do the barre work on the floor with a chair. You have 3 long barre circuits. The first uses the pilates ball between your thighs. As already mentioned, after you complete a barre circuit, you do a cardio rebounding circuit. No advanced moves in this workout, but as I said, it is a solid workout. She also does bouncing cardio core work. At the end you do a short upper body circuit and some core work at the very end. It estimates you will burn 513 calories. According to my FitBit I burned 319 calories.
Tiziana C Tiziana is Italian born and originally from Milan. She used to be a marketing executive. She now holds certifications in every mode of pilates imaginable! She is also a master Bellicon trainer who teaches classes in the USA and in Italy.
Lymphatic Cleanse Bounce is 11 minutes. It is a level 4 workout. Cardio. This is my first lymphatic workout–Bellicon has several. Rebounding is supposed to be good for your lymphatic system so I have been wondering what these workouts that focus on them are all about. Well, now I know. All of the other Bellicon workouts I have done so far focus on the intensity factor–pushing down with your feet, knees bent. Not in this workout, it is gentle feel good bouncing. I enjoyed it and it worked really well as a cool down for the workout I did before it (below) More Bounce, Less inches. It estimates you burn 48 calories. I cannot give an accurate calorie burn on this one since I did it in combination with another workout. Between the two I burned 235 calories.
More Bounce, Less Inches is 21 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. This is an all cardio workout and pretty intense. It has a very short warm up and a short cool down. For each song Tiziana focuses on a cardio move–jumping side to side, jacks, scissor runs, etc. I got some solid cardio. Not the most fun workout but not a bad workout either. I liked it. It estimates you will burn 128 calories. I cannot give an accurate calorie burn on this one because I combined it with one of Tiziana’s 10 minute workouts, Lymphatic Cleanse Bounce (above). Between the two I burned 235 calories.
Bellicon Bounce Class is 28 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio + strength. This is an interval workout. Tiziana alternates body weight strength circuits with intense cardio circuits. I got a great workout. It works your lower body with squats and side leg lifts, your upper body with push ups and tricep dips and your core with two different plank variations (your shoulders are also getting work with the planks). This workout contains a warm up and a stretch. It estimates you will burn 154 calories. I burned 175 calories.
Cardio Coordination Bounce is 36 minutes. It is a level 6 workout. Cardio + strength. This workout was tougher than I expected it to be. The “coordination” aspect is almost entirely upper body. You will do basic bounce moves but with lots of upper body moves. Both arms do the same thing but they are frequently moving in opposition. Then she will put together several of these types of arm movements into a combo and you will repeat the combo many times–sometimes until my arms started burning. That’s the majority of the workout. But you also do some strength work–tricep dips and several plank variations. Tiziana also warms you up, cools you down and stretches you out. Bellicon estimates you will burn 230 calories. I burned 258 calories.
Rejuvenating Move Class is 40 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio + strength. This is a very gentle workout. This is great for a recovery day, if you are injured or beginner fitness level. There is a lot of balance work, some low level cardio, some agility/coordination work and some core and glute work. In the course of this workout I began to perspire twice but it never lasted since the more intense (not actually “intense”) segments weren’t long. I never actually broke a true sweat. Bellicon estimates you will burn 220 calories. I burned 199 calories.
Move Class is 46 minutes. It is a level 5 workout. Cardio. This is similar to Tiziana’s Cardio Coordination Bounce (above) but longer and no strength work. The first few minutes of class is Tiziana talking. This workout creeps up on you. It seems like it will be very low intensity at first then I realized I was sweating and needed a drink of water! There is some balance, some mobility work for your feet but the majority of the workout is bouncing with coordination work. Tiziana burns your arms out with the coordination work. There is a warm up and a stretch. Bellicon estimates you will burn 253 calories. I burned 300 calories.
Tracy L. Tracy is a barre and yoga instructor. She owns her own studio where she teaches aerial yoga. She also teaches barre and Bellicon classes.
Mindful Move: Hips + Hamstrings Yoga Sequence is 23 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Yoga/flexibility. This did not seem like a level 8 workout to me at all. There is some yoga strength moves but mostly it is yoga flexibility. No challenging poses. It was a very feel good practice to me. Every move uses the rebounder but for some of the poses you will have one (or both) feet on the ground. You do traditional yoga poses such as crescent pose, pigeon pose, down dog, child’s pose, goddess pose as well as many others. This was a nice, feel good yoga practice that hits the lower body the hardest but there is also some spine work mixed in. Bellicon estimates you will burn 207 calories which just seems ridiculous to me. I burned 34 calories.
Mindful Move: Yoga for Back Sequence is 25 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Yoga/flexibility. You need a yoga block for this workout. Again, this did not seem like a level 8 workout. There is also some time issues. It is labeled as a 26 minute workout (it is actually 25 minutes) but once the workout starts, the timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen says it is 33 minutes. But the workout ends when there is still 8 minutes left on the clock. So don’t let the timer confuse you! All but one of the moves uses the rebounder but for some of the poses you will have one (or both) feet on the ground. The one move that doesn’t use the rebounder is the very first move in the workout. You need a wall for that one and it is more challenging than you would think. You stand with the entire back of your body pressed against the wall: heels, calves, bottom, shoulders, arms and hands. She talks you through form and, as I said, it is harder that you would think. For the rest of the workout there are a lot of cat/cows, child’s pose, cobra, some plank moves, forward folds, down dogs, a spinal twist as well as a few other poses. This was another feel food flexibility workout with only a few mildly challenging poses (for me at least). Bellicon estimates you will burn 234 calories (again–ridiculous!). I burned 45 calories. The only reason I think my calorie burn was even that high is because I warmed up with a cardio rebounder workout before doing this workout. So I came to this workout with my heart rate already elevated and did not burn anywhere near the estimated calorie burn.
Sweet! A Barre + Bounce Class is 41 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. This was an excellent cardio + strength workout. You need Bellicon balls or or light hand weights for this workout. A T bar is also useful but Tracy doesn’t have one so she just puts her Bellicon on its side to use as her barre. You get a warm up but no cool down or stretch–and you need a stretch since the workout ends with some burn out lower body work. The structure is cardio circuits alternated with strength circuits. There are no complicated or advanced cardio moves, but Tracy varies them and they will get your heart rate elevated. Some of the strength is done on the floor. The first two strength circuits are curtsy lunges with weighted arm movements done on the floor. Then you do a core circuit laying on the Bellicon and using the Bellicon balls. Then a tough, burn out lower body barre circuit. A push up/plank hold/mountain climber circuit. And the final strength circuit is more lower body barre work. Remember–there is a cardio bounce circuit between each strength circuit. An excellent workout! Bellicon estimates you will burn 369 calories. I burned 280 calories.
Barre & Bounce is 44 minutes. It is a level 8 workout. Cardio + strength. Another excellent cardio + strength workout from Tracy! Every strength circuit in this workout burned! You need Bellicon balls or or light hand weights for this workout. A T bar is also useful but Tracy doesn’t have one so she just puts her Bellicon on its side to use as her barre. You get a warm up and a short stretch. This workout is structured the same as her Sweet! A Barre + Bounce Class (above) but different exercises. In fact, the strength work in this one was overall much more challenging. I literally hit some kind of burn (or burn out) during every single strength circuit. I did not time the circuits but Tracy said something that leads me to believe each circuit is 3 minutes long. The cardio circuits are basic jump moves–nothing complicated but they keep your heart rate elevated and are so welcome after the brutal strength work. She varies them so you are not doing the same thing in every cardio circuit. The warm up is actually your first cardio circuit. Then you do a total body lunge series on the floor using the Bellicon balls or hand weights. Another cardio circuit. Then do the same lunge series on the other side of the body. Another cardio circuit followed by lower body barre work. Another cardio circuit. Lower body mat work done on your rebounder. Another cardio circuit. The same lower body mat work but done on your other leg. Another cardio circuit. Plank work with elbows on the rebounder and feet on the floor. The final cardio circuit is your cool down then you get a one minute stretch. As already mentioned, all of the strength workout seriously challenged me and burned but the lower body mat work was brutal. My husband actually came to check on me because I was whining and crying so much during it. My glutes and calves burned for hours afterward. Bellicon estimates you will burn 360 calories. I burned 305 calories.
Hi, do you have any recs on a Bellicon trainer that provides workouts similar to Linda’s rebounder workouts (from Barlates)? I really like the variety/intensity in her Up and Down video.

Hi Caitlin, it has been a long time since I have done a Barlates workout but I don’t recall any Bellicon workouts being similar to what Linda created. However if you are looking for variety and getting on and off the rebounder, you might try Arnita’s newer workouts and Dustin’s workouts.

I want to try rebounding so bad because I have knee issues but the last time I tried I was so motion sick afterwards. Has this ever happened to you?

I am sorry to hear that. I have been rebounding for over a year now and that as never happened to me.
